How will it go? Rovers need three points – but I think they might have to settle for one - James McNamara

Just a thought: Rovers have three more points now than they had at the same stage of their 2006-07 promotion-winning season.

Words of wisdom: "We have been in the top 10 all season and are probably where we thought we would be. That doesn't mean we are happy to accept where we are at the moment." – Paul Trollope, striving for better things from his team.

Fancy a flutter? Rovers are a best-priced 7/4 (bet365; Victor Chandler) to come away with all three points. You can also get 7/4 (SKYBET; totesport) on Exeter ending their long winless run and 12/5 (SKYBET; Betfred) on the match ending all-square.
