A chance for Rovers to finally record back-to-back victories as we host struggling Crawley. The visitors were tonked 5-2 by Carlisle on Saturday and are in poor form, having lost four of the last five games. They have some reasonable names in their squad, most notably Dom Telford, but we should be targeting three points from this game.
I think we will name an unchanged starting eleven following Saturday's victory. However, Paul Lewis has generally been less effective as a 'false nine' at Prenton Park where teams sit deeper, so it will be interesting to see whether the strikers have the same impact as they did yesterday. Saunders performances have generally been good and a home game against weak opposition hopefully gives him the opportunity to get off the mark. Hemmings travelled to Crawley and might be back on the bench for this match.
Despite Saturday's result I think it will be a poor crowd, with negligible away support, and the attendance might even dip below 5,000 for the first time since we returned to the League.
Prediction: Rovers victory.
