Next up for Rovers is a visit from the club with the most ironic nickname in the Football League. Salford have spent big again and have a squad full of good names for this level, including Ian Henderson and alleged Rovers transfer target Connor McAleny. However, as in previous seasons they have failed to gel thus far and come to Prenton Park in patchy form, albeit they won their last game versus Bradford. Gary Neville is apparently going to grace us with his presence.
As for Rovers, I thought it was a very good pre-match interview from Micky, who discussed the difficulties of incorporating eighteen new players into the squad, several of whom are not yet match fit, and expressed confidence that results will improve in due course.
I think there will be changes to the starting line up in light of the EFL Trophy victory on Tuesday night, and I think five at the back might be ditched for this game. I would start with the following line up:
Doohan
Cogley Clarke Davies MacDonald / Merrie
Spearing Foley
Feeney / MacManaman Hawkes Morris
Maynard
We will hopefully show the same attacking intent that we saw in the closing stages of the Hartlepool and Rochdale games for the full ninety minutes, and I think we will take something from the game. I expect the attendance will be just over 6,000, with Salford bringing no more than 3-400 fans.
