Bad news for Pirates

Bristol Rovers coach Paul Trollope has confirmed that Sean Rigg and Danny Coles face spells on the sidelines after sustaining injuries in the 1-0 loss at Swindon Town.
Striker Rigg picked up a hamstring injury while central defender Coles has a suspected fractured cheekbone.
In addition, Steve Elliott and Richard Walker will serve three-match bans following their red cards at the County Ground.
"We've lost four players for the next game - two through suspension, two through injury - and it compounds a bad afternoon," said Trollope.
"They scored from a debateable penalty and we came away with nothing and players missing for future games."
