When they beat us last time they scored from a barge over and a poor kick, only scored two penalty kicks in the second half. They may have the slight edge but I don't understand the vast majority thinking we will get beat comfortably. They've hardly hammered the two championship teams in front of them in pre season.
There will only be 3 Rovers players 4 maximum from the last game who will take part this time.
8 of Rovers winning team from July have left the club. McGuire, Tomkins & Masoe unavailable then will play this time plus of course the 6 new signings. I think Rovers will have a far stronger line up this time though undoubtedly Quinlan & Lunt are automatic picks who are unavailable, along with Scruton, Jewitt & Wardill .
I dare say Hull will be a lot stronger too and for me the results in trial games are immaterial they are just about building match fitness and trying out a few things.
I won't make a prediction but Rovers are 11/8 with the bookies and Hull 8/13. I think Rovers are the better bet at those prices.
