My biggest Rovers game, says Thomas

LOOKING around the Bristol Rovers squad, there are very few players who were at the club the last time they faced a game as significant as this weekend's clash at home to Exeter City, writes Daniel Hargraves.

Rovers have not had a match of such importance since they sealed automatic promotion from League Two in stunning fashion with a 7-0 win over Scunthorpe that saw them promoted on goals scored. Three years on, their task is avoiding a return to the fourth tier.

Of the players involved in the matchday squad that day in May 2022, only two are still at Rovers - Connor Taylor and Luke Thomas. Both were loanees that campaign and returned on a permanent basis in summer 2023.

Last week, Taylor insisted that Saturday's game against Exeter is a must-win while, for Thomas, the winger admits that it is the biggest match he has played in wearing a Rovers shirt.
