Let's get this thread started early as Rovers take on Wrexham in what is sure to be a fiery affair; not necessarily with the players but certainly with the supporters. The last time we met at The Racecourse Ground was in the National League over six years ago. The match was watched by 8471 and ended 2-2. The team that day:
Fast forward to today and Rovers will be looking to improve their away form and pickup as many points as possible until the end of the season. Rovers do not have much to play for and therefore might be able to relax and play a good game. Wrexham on the other hand will be looking to pick up another three points having already beaten Rovers in September (0-1). This was during a somewhat rocky period when Ian Dawes was in charge but Wrexham are holding steady in the top two looking to secure an automatic spot that would see them win back to back promotions.
Hopefully we can give them a better game now that Adkins has settled the team and got them playing some nice football at times. Rovers should be confident after victory against the league leaders Mansfield on Tues night. Nigel seems to be going with some rotation at present so unsure what team will line up on Saturday.
As much as I want us to beat them, I just can't see it due to our poor away record and I don't want them taking six points off us this season so I'm going for a well fought draw.
R Taylor, S McNulty, L Ridehalgh, R Sutton, A Buxton, J Ginnelly (E Clarke, 74), O Norburn
