After the disappointment of losing to Walsall midweek in the Carabao Cup 1st round, Rovers return to league duty on Saturday with a trip to the County Ground to face Swindon Town.
Rovers have made an excellent start to the campaign, starting with a solid 2-2 draw against Stevenage in the first game followed by a hard fought 1-0 victory against Cheltenham at Prenton Park.
Meanwhile, Swindon won their first league game of the season 3-2 against Macclesfield but have since lost their last three games. 4-0 against Chelsea U21 in the Checkatrade Trophy, a heavy 4-1 defeat against Lincoln and a 1-0 defeat at home to Forest Green in the Carabao Cup.
They will be looking to bounce back straight away against Rovers who have a few injury problems ahead of the game. Defensively, Sutton (broken leg) and Bakayogo (calf) may miss the game as well as long term absentees Buxton and Ridehalgh.
Up front, Mullin will be pushing for a starting place alongside Norwood after his efforts on Tues night against Walsall.
