TRANMERE Rovers' battle for a place in the play-offs continues with a crucial match against Eastleigh tomorrow. 

Their promotion push was left hanging by a thread last weekend after defeat by old foes Wrexham in a fierce derby at Prenton Park.

They face sixth on the table Eastleigh at Silverlake Stadium on Saturday and bring their National League campaign to a close at home against Grimsby a week later, April 30.

Manager Gary Brabin said his players said the battle for promotion will go "right to the wire".

In an interview on the club's website, he said: "We've had a lot of harsh words with some of the goals we've conceded of late, but now the sole focus is on Saturday's game and turning it around.

"Hopefully we can give a really good performance and get the right result.

"We're going into the last two games of the season with a great chance of achieving our goal of getting into the play offs.

"There's a lot to play for and we're still looking at it positively.

"We go into Saturday's game and we know we've got to perform to our maximum and try to get maximum points.

"We really believe and we go there full of confidence. We need to go there and perform, that's our sole aim at the moment."
