THE SADDLERS face Bristol Rovers for the second time in three days on Tuesday as we travel to the Memorial Stadium (kick-off 7.45pm).

The two teams shared a goalless draw at the weekend. "The pitch was a big leveller," said manager, Chris Hutchings. "I feel that the draw was a fair result. We were a bit leg weary, but the lads were in on Sunday for a recovery session in preparation for today's game.

"I thought that the back four did well on Saturday and we're going to require a similarly solid performance from them at the Memorial Stadium, where Bristol Rivers have a good record. They will be eager to bounce back from the defeat that they suffered in their last game on home soil at the hands of Wycombe Wanderers, so we've got to be at it right from the first whistle.

"It's always disappointing not to win games, [articularly at home, but Saturday's draw means it is now three games unbeaten for us and it gives us a platform on which to build."
