Lee Holmes looking to build on scoring return for Exeter

Exeter winger Lee Holmes will be looking to build on his scoring return in the 2-0 midweek win over Mansfield when Bristol Rovers visit.

Captain Matt Oakley and defender Christian Ribeiro both featured as substitutes in the win over Plymouth and also played against Mansfield.

Left-back Craig Woodman is back to full fitness and the form of Ollie Watkins and Jamie Reid has also added to the options of Exeter manager Paul Tisdale.

Watkins started the 2-1 victory against Argyle and Reid made his first home appearance for over two years and both could figure against the Pirates.

Rovers manager Darrell Clarke could hand a second successive start to Millwall loan signing Paris Cowan-Hall following his debut in the midweek home defeat against Stevenage.

That 2-1 defeat left Rovers 13th in League Two but a win against Exeter would maintain their interest in the play-off picture.

New signing Rory Gaffney comes into the squad, but Rovers striker Nathan Blissett, meanwhile, has moved to National League side Lincoln on a one-month loan deal.

Blissett joined Rovers from Kidderminster just over a year ago, scoring on his debut in a 2-2 draw against Chester.
