As Rovers await the visit of League One leaders Leicester City to Prenton Park on Wednesday evening, it's clear that both staff and players alike are relishing the chance to pit thier wits against undoubtedly the best side in the Division.
Ahead of tomorrow night's visit of League One leaders Leicester City to Prenton Park, Rovers Boss Ronnie Moore and midfielder Charlie Barnett were both upbeat when they spoke to the press through Tranmere World this week.
Barnett told Tranmere World that the players were disappointed not have taken the three points on Saturday in the game away at Northampton and will give the game against Leicester the best they can.
Barnett told Tranmere World....
"Me and the lads are a bit disappointed that we didn't take all three points. We created plenty of chances and on another day we could have scored three or four. We've just got to get this game out of our system and then give Leicester a good go on Wednesday."
"We're looking to get six points from the games against Leicester and Huddersfield. It's a big ask, but with our squad I think we can do it. Leicester have been pretty consistent all season. They've got a good stadium and a big fanbase and their goal is to go up. But I'm sure they've done their homework and they know Prenton Park isn't an easy place to play."
In response to the comments of his young midfielder, Rovers Boss Ronnie Moore was also upbeat ahead of the game when he spoke to Tranmere World and was also critical of a certain area of striker Bas Savage's game.
Moore told Tranmere World....
"They don't have to win, but I'm sure they're not going to come here and sit back with a five man defence. They'll come here and have a go. The whole side is quality and we look forward to it."
"They haven't lost for 20-odd games, so that is due to change. But it will only change if we work hard. If we put in the sort of performance we have recently and capitalise on our chances that come they'll know they've been in a game."
"I just hope we get the crowd that this game warrants. It's a massive game and hopefully we can get as many of our own supporters in as possible. The people who come here are worth their weight in gold with the support they give when they get behind us and the drum is going."
"These two home games are as good as anything, and I think our players deserve a good crowd because of the way they're playing at home. Leicester and Huddersfield will bring big crowds, but it's about what we do. If we perform the way we can at home, then they're both in for a game."
"I'm glad for Bas that he got the goal. I think he's still got to improve his dancing - it was a shocker on Saturday. The more goals he scores, the better his dancing will get."

or continue to dissappoint and dive all over the place?
He played well on Saturday and has certain game (like Millwall away also) when he does play well. I just feel he doesn't put the effort in that he should do but the same can be said for other squad members at the moment so it would be unfair to pick on Bas!
