After a mini run of matches we were expected to win, this Saturday offers a tougher assignment with rovers on the road to 5th place Aldershot.
The shots are managed by ex QPR defender & Wycombe manager Gary Waddock and have started the season well. Ex rovers loanee Shamir Fenelon leads the attack and has a couple of goals. Matt McClure adds some steel up front too. They have won 3 out of 3 home games scoring 5 and conceding zero, including a 2-0 win against Wrexham.
Much has been said about our lack of goals against some of the poorer sides and the merits of wins by a narrow margin. Saturday may be the test to see if our lack of goals will go against us against a decent attacking side. That said, I'd take another 1-0 win thank you very much.
As for the line up, I expect the same 11. GB was positive about the performances of Ridehalgh and Hughes so expect them to stay in their positions. I'd still prefer Maynard in the middle where he has done so well since the start of the season but expect him at RB ahead of Vaughan. Would be nice for Connor Jennings to get a goal as I get the impression he's a bit frustrated at the moment....
With Lincoln to come up next, rovers early promotion credentials will have their first real test, aside from Eastleigh a few weeks ago.
