Bristol Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday

I'm off to the Memorial Ground tomorrow for my last fixture of the season. A trip to the USA for the final weekend of the Championship and Football League fixtures rules me out and so hopefully Rovers will send me on my way with a smile on my face.

Like all of the side I cover, I wish them all well and, so following Swindon's relegation last Monday, it's time for a little good news.

They will certainly need some luck on their side though and I suspect that most home fans will be keeping an eye - or an ear - on other results as well. Dagenham host Carlisle, Walsall entertain Charlton and Exeter will be taking on Plymouth. It's possible that Daggers, Carlisle and the Pilgrims could also get out of trouble at this stage and Notts County now look fairly safe. So three from four sides will go down.

I know that several players read this garbage and so: Good luck boys.

Bristol Rovers captain Will Hoskins has said:


"Results haven't gone our way in the last couple of games but we're still in high spirits and looking forward to the last two games. We need this win on Saturday more than anything so it gives us a bit of breathing space for the last game of the season, if it all goes to plan."

Bristol Rovers defender David McCracken will miss the rest of the season after his red card against Charlton.

Midfielder Charlie Clough has been recalled from a loan spell with Batch City as The Gas look to everyone to help them stay up. The 20-year-old joined Bath at the start of March and scored two goals during his time at Twerton Park - Rovers former home.
Midfielder Jeff Hughes (wrist) and defenders James Tunnicliffe (ankle) and Danny Coles (Achilles) all remain doubtful for the match.

Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Madine has been struggling with a calf problem and remains doubtful.

On-loan defender Danny Batth has been suffering with illness, so Reda Johnson should keep his place in the side.

Thanks to everyone who has followed this blog through the season and - even though I hope to continue updating it each day with news from the clubs I cover - enjoy the summer break.
