Tranmere boss John Barnes praised his side's attitude during their 1-0 Carling Cup defeat by Bolton on Tuesday night. Coming off the back of a 3-0 drubbing at Leeds on Saturday, Rovers put in a spirited display against their Premier League opponents, eventually losing out to a Mark Davies goal. "I was pleased with the performance, the attitude, the commitment and the desire," Barnes said. "We can all have bad days but the attitude and desire against Leeds was unacceptable, whereas in this game they really did put in a shift against a strong Bolton side."
