First home game in 3 weeks. We have beaten the visitors recently at their place, but their last visit to PP resulted in a narrow 1-0 win for Rovers near the start of the Brabin era. They've not been in the best of form recently, but with forward Tom Denton back from suspension and dangerous winger Matty Kosylo also available, they should be a stronger opponent than our last meeting. Ex Rover Ben Tomlinson is also on their books, while presumably Waring will have to sit this one out.
I would expect a similar Rovers line up to the last game. If McNulty is still ill, McEveley to deputise, though against a striker like Denton, I have some reservations about Jay's defensive aerial ability. Buxton was to resume training today and may replace Duggan if he establishes his fitness. Even if the promised bus-load of loanee wingers materialise, I'd be surprised if any get beyond the bench.
Prediction: Should be a reasonable turnout from West Yorkshire, guessing around 300, in a crowd of around 4.6k. Sense this game will end in frustration again, with another draw.
