I am actually more excited about this Rovers squad than any other in recent years. There is a nice balance to the side with the pacey, adventurous wing backs and we have got some real quality in the middle of the pitch. I think Turnbull, Bristow, Cogley, MacAlear and Hemmings are as good as any players in the division in their respective positions and can make a real impact.
If we can keep hold of both wing backs, they could do for us what Wilson and Cadden did for Forest Green last season. They are that promising.
I think the starting line up will be as follows, assuming Turnbull is fit enough to play, which he possibly is not. Jameson has played all of the recent pre-season games and may start ahead of Hockenhull, but I think the midfield and forwards pick themselves at the moment.
Doohan
Cogley Byrne Hockenhull Turnbull Bristow
O'Connor MacAlear
Hawkes
Hemmings Nevitt
I thought Stevenage might bring 2-300 fans for the opening game of the season, but it seems not. They will be stubborn, awkward opposition under Steve Evans, but I think we will win the game.
If the pre-season matches are anything to go by, some of our football will be pretty decent.
