I'm the optimist; well the least pessimistic, with the draw. Our away form, or at least results, are better than at home this season and I don't really like predicting defeats. I'm sure it would be more positive if we were at home to Cambridge, which doesn't really make sense based on the first half of the season. Fingers crossed we are ALL wrong!
 
Smallwood on the bench works for me. Hopefully we see something with Ironside and Jones up front although worry about the service.
 
The good news is the return of Murphy and Patrick on the bench. After that I’m unsure. Bristow had one of his best games since returning last week yet doesn’t make the bench. Agree with Smallwood and Dennis on the bench, Whitaker a little hard done to and might have opted for him ahead of Jones. Rovers will be more competitive but not convinced we’ll have enough to get anything
 
Bristow presumably injured again. Good to see Patrick back on the bench.

The decision to leave Whitaker out is controversial, but I presume we are packing the midfield to stay solid, with Jennings playing number ten and dropping deep when we lose the ball.
 
A very good half. Solid defensively and lively going forward.

A great header by Jones, with good work by Jennings and Brough in the build up
 
Ended upping to watch despite intention to not bother. Very good goal. Reminiscent of 90s days. An actual team goal.
 
Tamen just watched two crosses let alone owned them, better now swapped with Smith, young lad bombing on inside Norman looks a safer bet. Blacker and Finley are the only ones creating if only we had someone to sit behind them and ditch this two supporting strikers nonsense.
Jones did nothing but harry then buried a free header, thought it was Ironside which is a good sign great technique.
JJ had something in his foot go not good, appears maybe Bristow was injured when replaced makes sense now. Not sure why Patrick can't do 45 and then use another sub, it isn't as if we use them well anyway.
Bring Whits on and extra midfielder for the front support two in time and hope.
 
Bit concerned re Tamen. He does some good stuff, but get caught under the ball from crosses/ throws from their left.
Early days and defo a presence.
