A trip to Cleethorpes up next to take on the Mariners, now managed by Dave Artell, ex-Crewe boss and linked with our vacancy at one stage. Things haven't entirely gone smoothly under the new manager, but there have been a couple of high scoring games. Blundell Park hasn't been one of our happier hunting grounds, though perhaps unusually, I have seen Rovers win away here.
Don't know if there are any fresh injuries or whether O'Connor is fit to return at right-back, but the week without a game may help with some of our more jaded players like Walker and Jennings getting a needed breather. I would expect a similar line-up to Milton Keynes, even if Dennis is fit, would probably start Jolley but with the prospect of Kristian coming off the bench. Hopefully the tactics are very different though. With some tricky games coming up in February, we need to get something out of this one to avoid falling into a losing rut.
