Bristol Rovers - Saturday 26/09/09

Bristol Rovers has been a happy hunting ground for the Albion since their move to the Memorial Stadium. In three previous visits, every game has been won, with five being scored and only being conceded in the process. This similar vein of form could do with continuing, as the Albion find themselves perilously close to the relegation zone already - and its only September!
