In form rovers next challenge sees Walsall come to Prenton Park which in the first time for approx 9 months, will see some fans at the game. How that impacts on the players remains to be seen. Most would say it will surely give the players a boost but could fate mean that our brilliant run of wins ends after the first game back for (some) watching spectators? Let’s hope not and they try even harder than recent weeks.
The Saddlers finished 12th in L2 last season and currently lie in 16th after a last minute penalty got them a point at home to lowly Stevenage on Tuesday night. Josh Gordon who was often competing with Ferrier and Cookie for a striking position scored the spot kick with his first appearance after a couple of months out. No other names of any note that I know of apart from experienced defender Mat Sadler but former Bristol Rovers man Darryl Clarke is the manager.
At the moment they are the draw specialists of league 2 with 9 stalemates from 15 games played. 3 wins and 3 defeats complete the picture.
Given our recent form I am sure they would take a point but this is a very winnable game for such an inform Tranmere side.
Assuming he is fit I would expect CBT to come in for Woolery. Lewis did a decent job on Tuesday with his work rate but Hill did make some post-match comments that he needs to improve so as we are at home, I would expect Khan to come back in to give us some more craft and guile in the final third. Apart from that and any injuries I suspect we’ll be unchanged.
Prediction: 2-0 win for rovers.
