Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope welcomes back Anthony Pulis for the visit of Northampton after he was cup-tied against West Brom.The on-loan Stoke youngster missed the FA Cup quarter-final defeat on Sunday because he featured for his parent club in an earlier round.

Defender Ryan Green continues to miss out with the Achilles problem that has kept him sidelined since November, while Steve Elliott has resumed training after a knee injury but is unlikely to be fit enough to make the squad.

Rovers striker Andy Williams has urged his team-mates not to let their FA Cup disappointment affect their league form.

"We've shown we can put a run together and we believe the league position at the moment is a false one," he told the club's official website.

"It's up to us now to take the opportunity we've got in the league with all the games in hand, and we believe we've got a squad of players capable of stringing together a few victories."
