RECAP: Walsall 0 Doncaster Rovers 0: Rovers win 4-3 on penalties

And it’s four changes from the side that started the defeat to Wimbledon on Saturday.

Out go Tiago Cukur, Charlie Seaman, Matt Smith and Tommy Rowe. In come Omar Bogle, Ed Williams, John Bostock and Cameron John.

Seaman, Smith and Rowe miss out entirely. Rowe was suffering from an Achilles problem.

And Richie Wellens has named only six players on the bench.

This game is an interesting one. There is a good chance, had Richie Wellens had a full squad at his disposal and had been able to bring in the number of players he desired, that he might have changed thing up this evening.

There is not a great deal of priority on this competition and we understand Wellens is not under pressure to deliver a decent run in it either, so he may have changed things up.

Not only is he not really in a position to do that, the Rovers boss has also spoken of his desire to work on gelling the relationships in his side and also building fitness levels following the disrupted pre-season.

So, a strong side is expected this evening, with John Bostock likely to start after impressing with his control off the bench at the weekend.

We’ve arrived at the Banks’ Stadium - and it’s a very pleasant evening indeed. Warmer than expected, periods of sunshine and the pitch looks very nice. Here’s hoping Rovers can keep up the warm feeling.
