Tranmere
- Mark Cooper has picked two deep-lying playmakers every week so far this season in Lloyd James and Reece Brown, but against Cheltenham he picked more direct midfielders like Theo Archibald and Matt Worthington; the experiment didn't quite work so James and Brown could come back in.
- Left-back Scott Laird featured for the reserves a week ago, which suggests he might not be too far away from returning to the match-day squad.
- Zoumana Bakayogo is sidelined for another 10 days with a hamstring injury while Adam Buxton was unavailable on Saturday, so we could see Jake Caprice and Manny Monthe taking on the full-back roles with Ritchie Sutton keeping his place at centre-back after a clean sheet.
- Evan Gumbs and Liam Ridehalgh are both long-term absentees.
