Have to be honest, Iwouldn't have recognised the visitors by their nickname. Bromley head to PP on the back of a 6 game winning run with Moses Emmanuel currently the National League's top scorer. They also have ex-Rover Ben Chorley in their line-up. This will not be an easy game.
No injury updates for Rovers, but two key players missing through suspension. While James Norwood will be a loss, there are enough options up front to address this. Personally I'd prefer a Mangan-Margetts pairing, but have a feeling Brabin may opt for Jackson alongside last Saturday's match-winner.
More difficult to resolve is filling in for Steve Jennings. I don't see Jay Harris as a holding midfielder, while Maynard was bought for the attacking role in the centre. Yet unless the manager opts for an out of position defender, it will need to be one of them. It puzzles me that while we've been linked with a striker[Lowe] and a another central defender[McNulty] both of whom could do a good job at this level, the lack of cover for defensive midfield along with the absence of a specialist right-back have not been addressed.
Prediction: Doubt the visitors will bring many. The home turnout may improve after some encouraging recent results, but unlikely to tip 5k, unfortunately not including myself.
Had we been at full strength, I'd have been quite hopeful. Rovers still might edge it but a score-draw most likely.
