Rovers will be looking to take the positive vibes from Tuesday night into another big game on Saturday when we host Oldham. A win would reinforce our place in the league 2 front runners and help us move on even further from the poor display against Stevenage which was hopefully a one-off.
The visitors currently sit 17th and have been inconsistent having lost 13 games this season, but winning 10, so are capable of picking up a result. Despite losing Danny Rowe to Bradford they still have goals in them with McAleny and ex Wrexham man Bobby Grant both on the scoresheet in their 4-3 defeat to FGR on Tuesday.
The big question is whether Keith will make any changes after Tuesday night. My guess is not really, unless enforced. After the Grimsby call off apart from half an hour on Tuesday night, the likes of Spearing, Clarke, Feeney & Vaughan have not played since Stevenage so should be fresh. I’m sure Clarke will return so the question is whether Ray could replace Manny which some of the SWA would prefer. George had an excellent game on Tuesday, but Manny helped keep the clean so suspect he will start but could be borderline.
O’Connor will only start I think if Khan isn’t fit. So if all fit I’m guessing something like:
Scottie
Khan – Clarke – Monthe – McDonald
Feeney – Spearing – Lewis
Woolery – Vaughan – Lloyd
The bench should look strong and there will be some half decent players who don’t make it. Expect CBT to be up in the main stand again and hopefully whatever the result we see a bit of what Nugent can bring to the table.
Prediction: a hard fought win.
