With Jaakkola away, JVS will be between the sticks for Rovers.
Mark Little is back from injury, however Rovers are expected to stick with the in form Hare.
Upson came off with a knock in Tuesday's game vs Plymouth. If he is out I would like to see Nichols put in the attacking midfield role with Clarke and Ogogo behind him. Otherwise I expect the team to be as per below.
Accrington look to have made an astute addition in signing Colby Bishop on a 3 year deal from Leamington Spa. The young striker scored 29 goals for the national league north side last season and already has 3 in 5 for Accrington this season. Can't help but feel like another one we have potentially missed out on. The young striker has previously played for Gloucester City and Worcester City. Accy impress me hugely with how they run things up there. Billy Kee is not currently playing for Accy due to personal reasons. Sean Mcconville is suspended but Accy will have Clark playing for them, who impressed me in this fixture last season.
JVS
Davies
Craig
Kilgour
Hare
Upson
Ogogo
Clarke
Leahy
JCH
Smith

Like Burton they play to their strengths and put men behind the ball to smother the opposition and hit them on the break. We're mighty Bristol Rovers and get taken in every time. Reminds me a bit of our Conference season.

Bishop has started the season well enough, but it will be interesting to see if he can maintain his goal scoring at this level longer term. I have my doubts.
I think England U19 centre back Aji Alese could be a good loan signing for Accrington after he joined from West Ham.
Fortunately for us Sean McConville is suspended for the game. He's ripped us apart previously.

If Upson is out I would play Kelly at left Back an Leahy in front of him.

We really need to break our duck against our bogey side Accrington Stanley. We also badly need a win at home after technically a 3 match losing run. I’m going for a 2-1 win with JCH getting both

I’m positive for this one ... Billy Kee and MCConville will be a miss for them hopefully.
Rovers win for me ... JCH and OC to score !
