Double blow rocks Rovers

Bristol Rovers have been dealt a double blow with the news that loanees Wayne Andrews and Jeff Hughes will miss the remainder of the season.
Coventry City striker Andrews lasted just 21 minutes of his Pirates debut before suffering knee ligament damage, while Crystal Palace left-back Hughes sustained an ankle ligament injury in a reserve team game on Monday.
Manager Paul Trollope told the club's official website: "It is disappointing because we were looking to add to the squad and finish the season strongly.
"We were delighted on Thursday when we brought in two players who had the pace, quality and attitude we wanted in the positions we wanted.
"It was all looking rosy, but as the last three days have unfolded it has all gone a bit sour."
