Krystian Pearce looks set to play at left-back to combat the height in the Rovers team but otherwise Nigel Adkins has gone with the same side that beat Walsall. Iron: Murphy; Byrne, Mirfin, Iriekpen, Pearce; Sparrow, McCann, Togwell, Woolford; Hayes, Hooper. Subs: Thompson, Les, Hurst, Morris, May. Rovers: Phillips; Green, Hinton, Elliot, Lescott; Disley, Lines, Campbell, Hughes; Kuffour, Lambert. Subs: Green, Duffy, Hunt, Parrinello, Reece. |

How are we feeling then Iron fans? Confident? Worried? The pitch certainly looks in good nick so should support the Iron's passing game. Do you reckon Pearce will be okay at left-back? |

The Rovers players just did a little huddle and now the home side have kicked off. |

Mirfin has made two good interceptions to deny Rickie Lambert getting through but nothing else much of note so far. |

And then a bizarre clearnce off the line by Sam Togwell for the Iron after Hughes chipped Joe Murphy. Togwell was on the floor and it landed on his head and bounced clear! The atmosphere is heating up here at the Memorial Stadium. |

A great tackle from Mirfin just denied Ko Kuffour when he was clean through on goal. This is turning into a right battle! |
