TRANMERE boss Les Parry is using the O's recent surge up the table as inspiration for his Tranmere Rovers side.

The Prenton Park club are currently in the division's bottom four, but Orient escaped from the relegation zone with their recent six-match unbeaten run to move into mid-table and Parry wants the same from his side.

They face two home games in a week and the Tranmere chief sees it as an ideal opportunity for his team to kick on.

He told Tranmere's official website: "Leyton Orient show that two or three good results on the bounce - they're third on current form - can lift them into mid-table. Two consecutive wins would put us there with them and it's a nice aim for the lads.

"We've got two very difficult games coming up, but they're on our patch so the emphasis will be on us to win the games."

Parry added Leicester City defender Luke O'Neill to his squad this week on a loan basis to cover for Shaleum Logan's suspension.

Tranmere pair Ian Goodison and Craig Curran have missed training this week but are nevertheless expected to be fit for Saturday.

Meanwhile, striker Bas Savage is pushing for a return after a long-term absence with an Achilles injury.

For the O's, manager Geraint Williams could give Jimmy Smith a first team recall in place of Nicky Adams, who has returned to Leicester following his loan in E10.

Matthew Briggs has also left the club following his loan from Fulham, so Luke Ashworth is added to the matchday squad.
