A tough test up next, with a trip to the Crabble to take on high-scoring Dover, currently sitting just outside the play-off places. A win for the hosts, would see them go above Rovers. While they lost a couple of their best players over the summer, with Miller, Lafayette and Emmanuel available, there's no shortage of firepower and it's difficult to see a repeat of last season's 0-0 draw.
For Rovers, Norwood's absence will be a significant loss, expecting the Kirby-Cook combo up front again. Personally, would prefer to see Ihiekwe back in central defence for an injection of pace at the back, but not expecting that to happen.
After the Barrow game, Micky's first test against one of the promotion contenders. He will have a much greater awareness of the strengths and weakenesses in the squad now and this game will be a real marker to what lies ahead. We're certainly capable of taking something here,but anything could happen.
