A trip to Hayes Lane next up for Rovers and I have not felt as unenthusiastic about a Tranmere match in a long time.
Our opponents have improved a lot in the last year or so under the management of Neil Smith. The corresponding fixtures in the last two seasons were dominated by Rovers and won convincingly, but it is difficult to see that happening on Saturday. Bromley brought in some decent players over the summer such as Brett Williams and our own Adam Mekki, and have the advantage of a 3G pitch; their home results this season include a 6-1 thrashing of Orient and they currently sit just outside the play off positions.
Given our current circumstances, I would not be surprised if Mellon set up set up in a negative 532 as at Ebbsfleet, simply to try and scrape something from the game. As defeat could see us drop into the bottom four, it could be argued that this is the right strategy. I have no idea which eleven will be selected, but I am pretty sure Cook won't be one of them and it is likely McEvely will return to the team.
Prediction: I think about 3-400 Rovers fans will be present to see at best a draw, or more likely a narrow defeat.
