Quick chance to get on track after the disappointing showing against the Franchise. Our opponents have been in terrible form, but earned a good draw in Sussex at the weekend. Links are Andy Taylor, a decent left-back and Sam Mantom who had a short loan spell under Les, while Brandy their striker can be a handful.
Team selection for Rovers depends on who's fit, perhaps Thompson may come back into the equation. Robinson didn't seem to work so well on the right wing. Other fitness issue was Ash Taylor, apparently below par on Friday, might a Goodi recall be under consideration? If Jervis is still with us, presume he'll start ahead of Stockton, despite failing to live up to his promising debut.
Prediction. Normal prices and normal crowd size, I expect. The visitors are likely to bring more than the Franchise ~250 and we'll probably get about 5.5k.
I actually think Walsall are more of an attacking threat in terms of converting chances than Friday's visitors. Rovers will need to create more and then convert those chances as I'm not expecting us to keep a clean sheet. Most likely outcome is a narrow win; 2-1 or 3-2, so long as complacency is avoided.
