Rovers still top of the League after home victory

9:34am Wednesday 19th September 2012 in News By Craig Manning

TRANMERE Rovers kept their place at the top of the League One table last night following a 3-0 defeat of Bury.

Manager Ronnie Moore praised the effort and determination which saw his squad maintain their 100% home start in 2012-13.

Birkenhead-born midfielder Andy Robinson scored twice from the penalty spot and Jake Cassidy adding the third.

The result was the Club's 16th game at Prenton Park without defeat and fourth win in as many home games in the new campaign.
 

Moore, who was named League One manager of the month this week, said: "We said it would be a hard game and it was a hard game. No one is going to come and lie down.

"We got the breaks at the right time and luckily for us that's what's happening at this present time.

"For effort, determination and desire to grind out a win...there are different ways to win a game and we've done that twice at home now.

"But we've got to improve with our passing and we will. At the moment we're keeping clean sheets and scoring goals.

"We said their danger would come from set plays and Sodje is always a threat.

"One of our lads has lost him but it was a great header from Wallace because if that goes in goals change games. But it's a win so how can I moan?

"Rovers' League One campaign continues on Saturday with an away game against fourth from top Crawley Town.

Looking ahead to what promises to be a 'massive' game, Moore said: "We've got to travel for five and a bit hours on Friday so the preparation has got to be right for them."
