High-flying Brentford are up next for Rovers and, regardless of the result, I am hoping that we put in a convincing display to draw a line under Saturday's debacle. A heavy defeat could seriously damage our confidence and goal difference and is to be avoided.
Griffin Park has been a happy hunting ground for us in the last couple of years, with last season's victory there one of the most enjoyable away days I can remember. However, much has changed at Prenton Park in the intervening fourteen months and even the most optimistic Rovers fan can probably only forecast a defeat in this one. Brentford have had a slight wobble in recnet weeks, but appear to be back on track after a comfortable victory at the weekend.
Selection wise, I would play a 4-5-1 once again, ideally with Ryan Lowe as the central striker. However, as Cassidy is not really mobile enough to play a wide role and is apparently obliged to feature under the terms of his loan deal, it seems Ryan will start on the right hand side again. At left midfield, Jake Kirby should perhaps be given the nod due to his energy and workrate. However, Junior Brown can only be assessed once he is fully match fit and has adjusted to the pace of League One, so I would not object to him starting, despite his struggles on Saturday.
