It is a trip to Blundell Park next for Rovers, as we face a Grimsby side in poor form and staring relegation to the National League in the face, only five years after regaining their league status.
It seems Grimsby have improved since the appointment of Paul Hurst and the addition of some new faces in January, but that is yet to be reflected in results. One of those signings was ex-Rover Stefan Payne, while Luke Waterfall might also feature at centre back, and no doubt still harbours his grudge against us. The early indications are that the game will go ahead, although the pitch will no doubt be very difficult and Rovers will have to adapt better to the conditions than they did on Tuesday night. Hurst's teams generally play decent football, so I am expecting a better spectacle than on Tuesday.
In terms of selection, I think Feeney will return to the side in place of Crawford and we will be otherwise unchanged.
Prediction: despite Tuesday's struggles, I expect Rovers to win this game and get the promotion show back on the road.
