With 16 League Two fixtures under their belt Micky Mellon’s men have had mixed fortunes. However, if they continue to pick up points in the same vein, they will be hopeful of, come the end of the season, staying in a play-off place.
Man to watch – James Norwood (League Two’s leading goal scorer)
Rovers are out of this year’s competition by succumbing to both Crewe Alexandra and Shrewsbury Town. On the other hand City’s youngsters opened their campaign away at Shrewsbury Town 1-1. However, the rules stipulate if ties are drawn after 90 minutes no extra-time will be played and the match must finish on a penalty shootout. On this occasion City lost 3-1.
Their next outing was far more productive when they trounced Crewe, in the allotted time 4-1 on their own soil.
