Walsall's underwhelming start to the campaign continued with a 2-1 loss at Newport last time out, but head coach Matthew Taylor is likely to be given a generous amount of time to build a side that can challenge for promotion. If results continue thus, the board may still be willing to consider this a transitional season, yet equally there does need to be convincing progress in terms of performances and this will not be easy with Liam Kinsella now out with a long-term injury. Bristol Rovers, meanwhile, are above the relegation zone only on goals scored after a 3-1 defeat to Leyton Orient last time out; it is difficult to see the Gas fulfilling their promotion ambitions this season, unless something changes quickly. 2:1
