First home game since the Macclesfield debacle and an early start for television. The visitors arrive on a poor spell of form, not won for nearly 2 months and are in mid-table obscurity. I expect that they'll be coming with a similar mindset to Ebbsfleet, trying to keep a lid on things and minimise our chances.
MM didn't say much in the pre-match interview, all the first teamers save Kirby are available. His post-match remarks after Boreham Wood suggested that he was unhappy about the mentality of some, was critical about our defending, so it will be interesting to see how things are changed for this game, which we need to win. Norburn is available after suspension, but unsure his pre-ban form merits an instant recall. Things seemed to improve when Tollitt came on, so would like to see him start, even on the understanding he might get taken off around the hour mark. As for the rest, anybody's guess.
Prediction: The early start and lack of travelling support mean that the crowd may be lower than normal, though maybe bolstered by the lack of Prem action and over a month since our last home game, maybe around 4.5k. Think, Rovers can scrape a victory, but it may not be wholly convincing.
