No new worries for Rovers boss

Rovers head to Cumbria on the back of three successive League One defeats which has seen them fail to score a goal. However, striker Michael Ricketts is edging closer to full match fitness and defender Marlon Broomes provides competition for places after signing a one-year deal earlier this week. Striker Bas Savage remains sidelined and is not expected to play until the New Year because of a ruptured Achilles tendon injury which he sustained towards the end of last season. Assistant boss Jason McAteer said: "We've been trying to keep the lads upbeat and we go into the game against Carlisle feeling we can get something out of it."
