Hide AdWhat a final four it is too with Mallik Wilks going head to head with Sam Johnstone while Ryan Mason will face Herbie Kane.


Rovers have a pretty good record of cherry picking promising young talent from other clubs for loan moves.
Plenty have made excellent impressions in their temporary spells, but we want to know who you think made the biggest impact in their time at the club in the last 15 years.
We selected 32 loanees, excluding any that went on to enjoy permanent spells at Rovers. Those 32 were then drawn into eight groups of four before voting commenced on Twitter.

Voting for these semi-finals will take place at noon and 6pm on Saturday, March 28 on our Rovers Twitter account @FreePressRovers and be open for four hours.
The final will take place between noon and 6pm on Sunday, March 29.
