Nigel Adkins first game at PP is this Saturday with the visit of Accrington Stanley. The visitors were relegated from league one last season but have started life in league two fairly well sitting 8th in the table. Four wins, a draw and 3 defeats so far with the experienced and long serving John Coleman hoping to take them back up at the first attempt.
Despite their relegation they kept hold of most of their players and won’t be a pushover for rovers.
As for us, Nigel has some decisions to make. Despite some promising moments last week we still defended poorly second half and arguably Yarney deserves a start at CB given our run of defeats. Whether the likes of mcalear keep their place or hendry comes back in will be interesting. Up front I expect it to be the same trio unless Luke Norris is fit. Personally I think we should have a style that means Dennis can play up front in a two and he will score goals. Again it’ll be interesting whether Adkins keeps Dawes 4-3-3 which isn’t exactly working, or reverts to a 4-4-2, and also whether the likes of Kieran Morris or Merrie return to the squad.
Prediction: a score draw for me.
