Albion make several changes for this afternoon's match at Bristol Rovers.

Skipper Nicky Forster returns to lead the line with Glenn Murray after missing the last two games with a knee injury.

Matt Richards makes his first appearance at left-back since recovering from a hamstring injury, with Kerry Mayo dropping to the bench.

Joel Lynch also returns to the Albion defence at the expense of Guy Butters, who is left out altogether.

First year pro Sam Gargan is named among the substitutes after being recalled from his loan spell at Welling United.

Paul Trollope keeps faith with the Rovers side that lost 1-0 to Swindon last weekend.
