Tranmere striker Marvin Sordell says that Rovers will need some good fortune if they are to avoid relegation from League One this season.

Tuesday's 2-0 defeat by Huddersfield leaves Les Parry's side just one point above the drop zone.

"I think we played really well but we were disappointed to concede the goals at the times we did," Sordell told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"Maybe it's luck that needs to go our way and then things will be alright."

The loss to Huddersfield ended Rovers' three-game unbeaten run.

"Before the first goal we were really putting them under pressure and they got a goal from a corner," added the 19-year-old.

"The second one came early in the second half and took the steam out of us and killed the momentum.

"Everyone is quite disappointed with the defeat but there is a lot of positives to take out of the game."

Sordell joined Rovers on loan from Watford at the beginning of February and has scored one goal in five appearances.

"I was surprised when I came here to find the club was is in this situation," he said.

"On the first day of training I thought that the players are technically good, fit and have the know how."
