Match Preview

Boro wait on pair Stevenage will check on Robbie Rogers and Filipe Morais when Walsall visit Broadhall Way. The attacking midfield duo were not risked in Saturday's 2-2 home draw against Crewe due to minor hamstring problems and could return to the squad. Midfielder Robin Shroot is pushing for a start after scoring another goal as a substitute at the weekend. Left-back Lee Hills is still on the sidelines but is closing in on a return. The summer signing from Crystal Palace has yet to figure this season due to a thigh strain, but is stepping up his training this week and hopes to be available in a fortnight. Unbeaten Stevenage have drawn all three of their home games so far. Walsall manager Dean Smith is on the verge of having a fully-fit squad to pick from. Smith will wait on midfielder Adam Chambers, who faces a late fitness test as he looks to make his return from a hamstring injury. The game looks to have come too soon for Saddlers forward Febian Brandy, who is still nursing a hamstring strain of his own, with Saturday's clash against Preston representing a more realistic target for his return. Walsall are now unbeaten in five npower League One matches but face a tough test against a Stevenage side who currently sit third in the table having not lost a game so far this season.
