several picks.
I had already marked this down as a home win before I found out about all the Brighton players missing through injury. At least 11 first team players are reported to be out, “Definitely sidelined after picking up injuries at the weekend are full-back Jim McNulty - who is in hospital after suffering a ruptured kidney - centre-half Tommy Elphick (ankle) and skipper Nicky Forster (calf).
Striker Glenn Murray and defender Kerry Mayo are back in training following hernia operations but will not be ready, and goalkeeper Michel Kuipers is out for a fortnight with a hamstring injury.
Gary Hart is a couple of weeks away with a knee injury and fellow forward Jonny Dixon is still missing with a thigh strain.
Defenders Colin Hawkins (hamstring) and Adam Hinshelwood (calf) complete the roll call, although neither have been ruled out yet.
Adam Virgo is still suspended but David Livermore is back from a ban and loan signings Lloyd Owusu and Matt Heath will be added to the squad.”
Ouch, that means there will be a new look side on view at Bristol.
Rovers are in mid table but cruising along nicely and recorded a decent 1 – 1 draw at Carlisle over the weekend. They are picking up points and heading in the right direction and are generally a decent outfit at home with a good record against the bottom half of the table.
Verdict
Its late, im tired and I won’t go into too much detail but I already had Bristol Rovers down as a home win before reading about Brightons problems. Brighton were shocking at the weekend losing 4 – 0 at home to lowly Crewe and surely Rovers will have far too much for them tonight.
Can’t see the odds lasting too long either, they have already dropped to a low of 1.57 at bet365 but can still be got at 1.75 @ betsense
