Arguably the biggest game of the season so far for Rovers at a Notts County side who have slipped to fourth after their midweek defeat, but have been on our coat tails in second for the majority of the season.
For the first time this season Rovers will be forced to make a major change to the starting line up with Robinson out with a hamstring injury. Adam McGurk apparently did a fine job as his replacement on Tuesday, and it must be hugely encouraging that we won convincingly at Scunthorpe without Robbo, but I would imagine Notts will provide sterner opposition.
I think a big performance will be needed again from James Wallace, to follow on from his excellent second half display at Glanford Park. Just how much we will miss Robinson's creativity against one of the better teams in the division remains to be seen, but with confidence levels extremely high and both strikers in fantastic form, I still think we can score goals in this one.
It will be interesting to see what tactics County adopt: I think an open game, such as the one at Crawley recently, suits Rovers as not many teams in this division will outscore us on our current form. At the same time, I can't imagine Curle playing five in midfield in front of his own fans.
With a full strength side I would certainly fancy us to win this game. As it is, I would settle for a point, but wouldn't rule Rovers out.
