It is newly promoted Sutton next up for Rovers.
The visitors have adapted quickly to the Football League, and from what I have seen of them this season will be a very difficult opponent. They are a big side, with a number of players over six foot, and pretty direct. They recently caused absolute mayhem with their long throw and set plays against a good Port Vale side, and we will have to defend the eighteen yard box well to get a result. I don't know most of their squad, but long serving midfielder Craig Eastmond and alleged Rovers transfer target Enzo Boldewijn are familiar names.
As for ourselves, Micky probably has his most difficult team selection of the season after the performance of Glatzel, Maynard and Stratulis on Tuesday night. My gut feeling is that Glatzel will start in the number ten role in a 4231, with Maynard on the bench and Stratulis missing out, but perhaps training with the squad pre-match.
It would be possible to fit both Glatzel and Maynard into the side in the following formation, but we won't start like this:
Doohan
Cogley Clarke Davies/ NKP MacDonald
Watson Spearing Morris
Glatzel
Nevitt Maynard
We need a victory to get the league season back on track.
