Ahead of the visit of Peterborough United to Prenton Park tomorrow evening (7.45pm kick-off), Rovers Boss Ronnie Moore admitted his side must be wary of Posh's attacking threat but also insisted there is no reason why Rovers' can't take the game to Peterborough and win.

Moore told Tranmere World....

"It's a tremendous three games we've got coming up and a great opportunity to put the result from Saturday to bed.  We've got to get over the disappointment of the last minute goal.  If we can win the game it puts us three points off Peterborough and really tightens up the top six or seven spots." 

"They're in a great position and we wish we could be where they are.  We owe them one.  We've been the best side in the majority of the games but we haven't got the results we warranted.  It's no good crying about it, we have to make sure we do get the result that is wanted."

"They've got three lads up front who are better than this division.  They are all a threat, but we're a threat too.  We're playing at home and we'll take the game to them."

Speaking of the pre-match injuries he faces, Moore added...

"There are one or two knocks and we'll not know until the last minute whether or not they'll be available.  Danny (Coyne) has tweaked his medial ligaments.  He thinks he might be alright for Saturday so John (Achterberg) will play against Peterborough.  John made two or three good saves on Saturday so it's another opportunity for him."

"Andy Taylor is fine.  He felt a bit of pressure on his hamstring and it was a precautionary measure that we took him off."
