Colchester v Rovers LIVE

Plenty of chatter about the decision to bring Tom Anderson in at the expense of Joseph Olowu. Some believe it’s harsh on the latter, although there’s no denying Anderson was superb when he came on at the weekend.

We’ll ask Grant McCann post-match on whether Olowu had any issue or whether it was just a selection decision.

Two changes for Rovers with Tom Anderson and Harrison Biggins coming into the team, with Joseph Olowu and Zain Westbrooke dropping down to the bench.

Rovers: Lo-Tutala, Sterry, Wood, Anderson, Maxwell, Bailey, Craig, Biggins, Molyneux, Ironside, Adelakun

Subs: Jones, Olowu, Westbrooke, Broadbent, Rowe, Hurst, Waters
