It will be interesting to see what changes are rung after the disappointing showing in Cumbria. Wallace looks hopeful of a quick return, which is good, while Robinson and Jennings are also in contention, the former after a hernia op, the latter also injured. I wouldn't expect either to start and unless Jennings fitness has improved significantly would rather see others on the bench. Ronnie was all for blaming the defence, but unless he sees sense and restores Holmes at the expense of Otsemobor, there don't seem to be any options for change. More choice for the manager elsewhere on the park, but he'll probably start Atkinson although recent performances don't merit it. Akpa Akpro is another who's been consistently disappointing, but seems undropable.
Gillingham seem to have improved under Peter Taylor, although like Rovers are somewhat inconsistent. I'm always uneasy about the pre-Christmas game, we don't seem to do well in it. The cheap entry may increase the home crowd a little, though time of year, miserable weather and distance the visitors have to travel on a Friday mean it's unlikely to approach the numbers of some other cut-price games. I'd reckon somewhere between 6-7k. Hopefully they'll get more than their money's worth.
