In the grand scheme of things, you are right. But remember, it's a chance of morale & confidence building.
A good performance against Cov, will not only gee up the players for Saturday, but it will give the fans a much needed boost.
Cov, IMO, will be focussing on promotion this season, but that's doesn't neccessarily mean they will take this lightly, as it's just as good a morale/confidence booster for themselves, aswell as you's.
This is the perfect opportunity for the likes of Chapman & Dack to gain some much needed confidence. I'd also give Feeney & start. Not sure about this Samuel lad, but if he's ever gunna flourish in the blue & white halves, then this is the type of game he where he will need to show his ability.
Im going for a 2-0 Rovers win
