It is a trip to Vale Park next for Rovers.
The Valiants are one of the sides fancied for promotion and have a reasonable squad, and a very good manager in Darryl Clarke. Their form was outstanding in the closing months of last season, although they have a made a stuttering start this term, with a poor performance at Northampton last Saturday and defeat in the cup on Tuesday night. They have got some decent players, including Tom Conlon, David Worrall, and the strike pairing of Devante Rodney and James Wilson, who will be a handful.
In terms of our selection, it seems that MacDonald, Merrie and Davies are the only players that are definitely out, with Nevitt also doubtful. If Eliott is fit, I would like him to start this game and try and build on his performance on Tuesday night. However, it seems probable that Mani will be up front, with Maguire at left back and the rest of the side unchanged from the Walsall game, although Morris could possibly be preferred to Feeney.
There should be a great Rovers following for this game, the first Saturday away match in eighteen months, and I would be happy with a draw.
