Game Day Three is upon us
Tonight kicks off a busy month of Saturday-Tuesday action for Rovers - it could get busier should they progress to round two - and presents another fresh challenge for Gary McSheffrey’s side.
How will they cope against a good League One team, who held Portsmouth to a draw last weekend? It could be a useful litmus test for their progress since last season’s relegation. They will have to be better than Saturday to get a win tonight.
Both managers have said they will make changes for tonight’s clash, but insist they won’t be wholesale with them wanting to get through to the next round and potentially meet a Premier League side.
