After another promising performance last week, Rovers are back to league action this week as they travel to Lancashire to take on Oldham Athletic.

Paul Dickovs men are unbeaten in the last four games. This has mainly come from having a sturdy defence and Dickov has taken action in the last ten days by securing the services of Reece Wabara and Enda Stevens until the end of the season, along with two and a half year deals for Andy Butler and Luke McCollough.

Rovers will be without Dean Furman for the trip to his old club as he has now joined up with South Africa to travel to the Africa Cup Of Nations.  Aside from Furman and Cedric Evina, everyone else should be available.

Oldham haven’t won a game since their defeat to Rovers back at the beginning of December in the FA Cup.  They have scored just the 1 goal and conceded 13 in their last three matches.  Whilst this will be a worry for Lee Johnson it will be a boost to Paul Dickov who will want to take full advantage.  Top scorer and former Rovers player Jonathan Fort will need to be watched carefully by McCullough and co.

Oldham and Rovers sit 13th and 14th respectively in the league, but only three points outside the play-off spots, so both teams will be striving for a win in this one.  I expect goals in a close encounter.

Come on you reds!

Overall record v Oldham:  P 40/W 17/D 15/L 8
