BRISTOL Rovers' first-team coach, Paul Trollope is expecting another close encounter as he prepares his side for their second meeting with The Saddlers in the space of three days this evening (kick-off 7.45pm).

"It's going to be another tight game," he said. "Walsall have made decent progress this season, but it is important that we get back at it on home soil.

"We will need to display the same character, drive and composure on Tuesday evening as we did on Saturday."
