Match Preview
Anthony boost for Rovers Bristol Rovers caretaker manager Stuart Campbell could have Byron Anthony available for the home clash against Peterborough. The 26-year-old defender has missed the last three games with an ankle problem but has returned to full training and could be included against Posh. Midfielder Dominic Blizzard has returned from a short loan spell at Port Vale, which lasted just one game, but will not be available after sustaining an injury during the Valiants` 3-0 defeat at Accrington last week. Campbell is unlikely to make many changes to his side following the vital 1-0 win against Notts County last weekend. Goalkeeper Conrad Logan has extended his loan from Leicester until the end of the season and will continue in goal, meaning Mike Green will remain on the bench. Striker Jo Kuffour is pushing for a starting berth following a 32-minute cameo against the Magpies. Peterborough will be without captain Grant McCann for the trip. The midfielder is away on international duty with Northern Ireland as he prepares for the European Championship qualifier in Serbia. His absence is likely to mean a recall for James Wesolowski in the centre as Posh look to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat at MK Dons on Monday night. Midfielder Lee Frecklington has had a hernia operation and will be sidelined for at least a month, while recent signing Paul Taylor will not feature as he is not match fit. Striker Dave Hibbert is absent as he steps up his comeback from a dislocated knee suffered back in November.

Match Report
Hughes earns Pirates a point Jeff Hughes' second half-goal denied 10-man Peterborough as Bristol Rovers earned a 2-2 draw. The midfielder stooped to head home Harry Pell's cross just four minutes after George Boyd had fired the visitors in front from a Craig Mackail-Smith pass. Rovers took a sixth-minute lead through a shot on the turn through Jo Kuffour. But Byron Anthony headed a Boyd cross past his own goalkeeper in the 23 minute before Posh defender Mark Little was sent off in first-half injury time for a second bookable offence. Mackail-Smith looked set to win the game for Peterborough when sent clear on 87 minutes, but the striker shot inches wide as goalkeeper Conrad Logan advanced. Rovers hit the crossbar through a deflected Will Hoskins shot in the second half as a fiercely competitive battle ended with honours even. Little's two bookings came within three minutes of each other, and his second challenge with Stuart Campbell was reckless in the circumstances.
