Well, it is quiet as the grave on here at the moment, which perhaps reflects some ambivalence towards the Trophy ?
Personally, I am excited about this tie, which gives Rovers their best chance to date to visit the new Wembley. I think tomorrow's game also takes on new significance after Tuesday night's disappointment, as it is important we respond immediately with a good performance.
In terms of selection, I think both strikers will be rotated with Mangan and Stockton starting. I would also expect Connor Jennings to start in place of Mekki in the number ten role, and if he performs I would expect him to make that position his own in the next few weeks. Elsewhere, Adam Buxton is back in training and could start ahead of Vaughan, but I think that is unlikely.
Apparently advanced ticket sales have been reasonably strong, so I would expect about 1,000 Rovers fans to travel.
Prediction: I think tomorrow's game will be very tight and is too close to call. However, I expect Rovers to prevail over the two legs.
