Bristol Rovers 0-0 Scunthorpe United
Bristol Rovers are in with a shot of stealing the third automatic promotion place from Northampton Town today and they have started quickly at the Mem.
First and foremost, they need to beat relegated Scunthorpe, but that might not be enough.
Northampton have a five-goal advantage over their rivals and Joey Barton said this week that if Rovers get in front they might start throwing everything at it to close that gap. He’s certainly stacked his bench full of options just in case, with five of the seven players there all attacking-minded.
