After five successive games on the road, its home sweet home (hopefully) for Rovers on Tuesday as they take on Leyton Orient at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Paul Dickov will quickly want to ‘right the wrongs’ of Saturdays under-par performance at Fleetwood Town.  There usually is a good reaction after a defeat in the previous game.  Rovers have only lost back to back league games on one occasion so far this season, and Rovers will want to keep that record intact by walking away with at least 1 point.

The only absentee from the Rovers team will be skipper Rob Jones who remains sidelined with a knee injury.  Apart from that, Paul Dickov has a full squad at his disposal.  Expect at least one change from the side that lost a Fleetwood.  Dean Furman may return in an attacking midfield role and Theo Robinson could play a part.  Dickov has admitted that his patience with the current squad has snapped after the weekend, and is actively looking at the loan market for at least 2 players.  Whether any materialise in time for the Orient game is another matter.

The O’s are currently in a bit of disarray themselves lying 20th in the league with only 2 wins so far this season.  However, they did get a decent draw at home to high flying MK Dons on Saturday so there are signs of progress at Brisbane Road.  Defender and joint top scorer Roman Vincelot will be the man to watch for them, especially from set-pieces.

Rovers haven’t lost in the last 8 games to Leyton Orient.  Heres hoping that run is extended to 9 games come 9.45pm on Tuesday night.

Come on you reds!
