Hopefully the team have freshened up with the 10-day break and will be up for this one. By no means an easy game, Walsall lost a lot of their better players over the summer but seem to have found or loaned decent replacements and in Dean Smith have a talented younger manager, who's guided the side to the fringes of the play-off places.
I would imagine we'd line-up defensively as the Wolves game. Wallace is banned, presumably Max Power will deputise. Don't know if the new loanee Matt Kennedy is best on the left or right wing, but expect he'll get a start. If it's on the left, I would start him there and drop Robinson to the bench, as one or two good touches don't compensate for a serious lack of match-fitness.
Prediction: With the visitors only likely to bring about 300, the crowd is likely to be no higher than about 4.5k. Ref Andy Haines is leading the red card charts for the season, so with 7 already for Rovers, he's at the right place to add to the tally. 1-1.
