Rovers boss Paul Cook must plan for the absence of Romauld Boco after the Benin international damaged ankle ligaments during the weekend match. The 25-year-old will undergo a scan on the injury this week.
The manager will be hoping for a positive reaction from the crowd after he accused a 'small minority' of them of being persistently negative.

Hamstring victims Jake Kelly and John Mulroy are still on the treatment table and will not make the trip west.

The Seagulls will make a late call on the fitness of goalkeeper Matt Gregg after he injured his shoulder in a heavy fall on Friday. Brian Kane will deputise if necessary.
