Workrate against Macclesfield was pretty poor, which was why we got pushed back on defence and made them look good.

Against Bolton, Keates and Dobson were pushing forward giving Wright the support he needed.

Which WFC will we see tomorrow? I reckon we have moved to a higher level of performance and will start to beat the likes of Bristol. Certainly, we can expect Wright to be up for it, and with Sam and Westwood having much better games in midweek, I reckon 3 0.

Don't see this as an easy game, and cannot see us keeping a clean sheet.

If Butler is on form then a win for us but not an easy one

Here's the team's

BRISTOL ROVERS: Steve Phillips, Ryan Green, Craig Hinton, Steve Elliott, Aaron Lescott, Sammy Igoe, Stuart Campbell, Craig Disley, Andy Sandell, Lewis Haldane, Rickie Lambert

Substitutes: James Hunt, Richard Walker, Chris Carruthers, Byron Anthony, Scott Shearer

WALSALL: Clayton Ince, Scott Dann, Chris Westwood, Mark Wright, Ian Roper, Daniel Fox, Michael Dobson, Dean Keates, Kris Taylor, Martin Butler, Hector Sam

Substitutes: Craig Pead, Tony Bedeau, Carlos Fangueiro, Ishmel Demontagnac, Rene Gilmartin

Dann in for Pead the only change I can see? Guess he is playing centre-back with Westwood being rightback?

After Westwood playing so well at centre back mid week, I'd have thought DD would want to keep him there for confidence, continuity etc. Can Dann play right back or is it as 1933 reckons and Dann in the middle and Westy at right back? mmmmmmm...

Must be Westwood at right back. Another no-show from Picken.

Mind you he's slipping...he'd been on the pitch for 8 minutes before he scored...which quite honestly isn't good enough!

Now that Ropes has gone off injured I guess it'll be Westwood and Dann in the middle with Pead at right back. Good chance for Dann to show himself in his main position (Scott, remember your job now is to keep the ball OUT of the goal!!!)

The Picken no-show is an interesting observation. I thought the 90 mins against bag ladies reserves on Wednesday was to get him match fit - either he's still not fit enough or had a reaction to the injury. Disappointing to be honest. Might be even worse for him if Dann plays well today too.

You will either be glad or dismayed to hear that the Memorial Ground is ringing to shouts of "TENNIS" :shock:

Finding the commentary a bit annoying. Think he's normally pretty good when I've heard him before but the WM guy Andrew ? keeps saying things like 'shot comes in' or ' move down the left' without it being clear who's actually attacking.

At least you've got a commentary.tuned in to WM at ten past 3 and haven't had a single analysis of the game.
