ECHOSPORT takes a closer look at tomorrow’s opponents Bristol Rovers with the help of Pirates fan Lucy Ford.

THE SEASON SO FAR

Bristol Rovers head into tomorrow’s game sitting 15th in the League One table after making an inconsistent start to the season.

Rovers kicked off the campaign strongly with six wins from their opening nine matches but since then Darrell Clarke’s side have triumphed just five times in 18 outings.

RECENT FORM

The Pirates saw off Rotherham United 2-1 last weekend to end a run of six successive defeats.

Rovers have lost nine of their last 11 games and are 19th in the League One form guide.

STYLE OF PLAY

Rovers boss Clarke is renowned for wanting his team to play an attacking style of football.

DANGERMAN

Ellis Harrison: The striker tops Rovers’ scoring charts with eight goals so far this season and has netted in his last two outings.

Harrison has been the Pirates’ most consistent performer this term but Billy Bodin also remains a big threat.

TEAM NEWS

Defender James Clarke remains a long-term absentee for Rovers.

PREDICTED STARTING LINE-UP

Smith, Leadbitter, Sweeney, Lockyer, Brown, Partington, Sinclair, Clarke, Bodin, Harrison, Sercombe
