MK Dons have been a bogey team for us pretty much since their inception. Our only victory in the last dozen or so games against them was back in 2010 when Dale Jennings put in a virtuoso performance. However, the Dons come to Prenton Park in poor form: four defeats in the last five games, with four successive losses away from home.
MK were missing a number of key players for their defeat to Carlisle on Tuesday, but reports suggest that some of the key absentees such as Gleeson and Bowditch will be back for Saturday; let us hope not.
We have a few selection dilemmas of our own, with Ronnie hinting that Baggie may get a start after his good showing against the Millers. I think he may start, but only in a 4-3-3 as I can't see Ronnie risking a 4-4-2 given how we were overrun in midfield in the home game against MK last season. As others have suggested, Baggie could just be the key to giving us greater creativity and unpredictability at Prenton Park, in the absence of so many other creative players.
The Dons are fragile on their travels and with Rovers beginning to show some consistency, with the exception of the second half against Orient, maybe this is the game where we will finally end our appalling run of home games without a win.
