Burchnall previews Trophy tie

August 29th 2022Noah Dougherty

Following defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon, Head Coach Ian Burchnall is keen to see his side dust themselves down and put on a performance tomorrow.

Rovers kick-start their Papa John's Trophy campaign with the visit of Southampton U21s (7pm) and the boss isn't underestimating the opportunity.

"It's a game for us to get back on track," he explained.

"We've had a tough week with Plymouth, Brighton and Sheffield Wednesday in the space of eight days. We always knew it would be a challenge but we didn't perform well enough so we need to get back out on the pitch and go again.

"It's an opportunity to top up on minutes for some, but I also think some of those that played at Hillsborough need some minutes to pick themselves up and show some improvements.

"It won't be a full rotation but we'll see a bit of a mix to help us find a rhythm."
