We’re finally back!
After 21 long days we finally have some football to talk about. Consecutive postponements have been a source of frustration for everyone, not least Danny Schofield, who felt his team were in a good place despite that defeat to Leyton Orient last time out.
Despite Mansfield’s recent struggles, Schofield admitted the enforced lay-off could be a leveller. There’s also the derby element to factor in. Rovers will be backed by 1,700 travelling fans today.
Whatever happens, it’s good to be back.
