Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore admits he is wary of the explosive qualities of Carlisle United’s loan ace Jennison Myrie-Williams.

The flying winger could be handed his first Blues start today (Brunton Park, 3pm) against the side where he spent five months on loan last term.

And Moore expects the 20-year-old will be fired up against the 13th-placed Wirral outfit.

“I would imagine Jennison will be looking forward to the chance to play against us,” said Moore.

“We saw his ability when he was here, playing on the left-wing or on the right.

“Wherever he plays, our full-backs will know they have been in a game against him.”

Bristol City man Myrie-Williams made 23 starts and scored three goals for Tranmere last term. He has made two sub appearances so far for the Cumbrians but is set to start this afternoon.

United chief John Ward could make further changes in a bid to halt his side’s three-match losing run, with Michael Bridges a candidate to start for the first time in the league this season.

Ward’s opposite number believes seventh-placed Carlisle’s formidable record at Brunton Park makes today’s game a huge test for his side, despite the Blues’ recent losing run.

“Carlisle are a very strong side, who are well organised and keep their discipline,” said Moore. “ That’s the way John Ward has his sides and will always have his sides.

“They’ve lost their last three games and they won't want to continue that for much longer. I think they have come out of the top six for the first time in 12 months, which is a tremendous record.

“They are a decent side and if we don’t play well it’s going to be a long afternoon for us.

“But we are in decent form and I think we are a match for anyone in this division, home or away.”
