Interim manager Andy Crosby said: "Last time out (against Ipswich), the commitment and the unity of the group, the togetherness and discipline of the group - the desire to run, chase, block and run headers - I thought it was really good and it gives us something to build on. Against Bristol Rovers, we want to be positive and energise the crowd."

The man in the middle tomorrow is Sunny Gill, who took charge of our game at Wycombe Wanderers on Boxing Day, where the Gas lost 2-1. In 28 games across all competitions this season, Gill has dished out 111 yellow and three red cards.

Earlier this year, Gill was the subject of ‘A Refereeing Legacy’ - the inspiring story behind the success of trailblazing refereeing family Jarnail Singh, Bhupinder Singh Gill & Sunny Singh Gill'. Gill said: "We want the younger generation to grow up and watching females referee or black people referee, and for me to be the first British South Asian referee since my dad, it normalises the diversity in the game."

What Are The Odds? 

Rovers are priced at 21/10 to beat Port Vale on Saturday afternoon at Vale Park, with the draw currently at 12/5. If you fancy Aaron Collins to add to his goals total after his strike on Tuesday, he can be backed at 7/1 to open the scoring, or 11/4 to net at any time, whilst Ryan Loft is priced at 10/3 to repeat his goalscoring heroics from last season.
