Next up is a game against the side immediately above us in the table. It all seems a long time ago since our opener back at Stevenage, a fight-back with two Norwood goals and a promising cameo from Ben Tollitt, leading to hopes subsequently dashed that he might be back to form.
I don't know that much about the visitors. They have vetran striker Alex Revell and the volatile Kurtis Guthrie, who can be a handful up front. In goal is former Lincoln keeper Farman, who could teach Scott Davies a thing or two about time-wasting. Like Rovers, a mix of loans and one permanent signing around deadline day, but of the 5 recruited, only one went straight into the side for the home win v Yeovil. Their home form seems to be better than when they're on the road.
A lot of decisions for Micky to take over team selection. Does Banks walk straight back into the side? I'm not sure his recent form merits it and would be interested to see Pringle in the creative midfield role, given we've not got the strike-force to make full use of his crossing ability. Will a jaded Connor Jennings be given a rest? Can see the argument both ways on that. It wouldn't be a surprise to see MM pick an identical line-up to Tuesday, though I would hope he opts for Smith ahead of Morris.
Prediction: Stevenage had a poor travelling support, while Red Scouse are at home with a 3pm ko,so would expect a crowd of just over 5k. Think this will be a rot-stopping draw.
