Barnsley
Saturday’s football game at Memorial Park pits together Bristol Rovers and Barnsley, the two teams who suffered elimination in the EFL Cup round 1. The Pirates aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Ipswich Town, but they face a difficult task in the League One Matchday 2. Experienced forward John Marquis is widely expected to return to the starting XI after he was rested in the midweek defeat, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Tykes, on the other hand, produced a splendid performance in a 7-0 win over Port Vale in their opener, but Tranmere proved to be a big catch for them in the EFL Cup. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Barnsley boss Neill Collins is going to field the best starting XI against Bristol Rovers after he rested several first-team regulars against the Super Whites.
Highlighted Team (Bristol Rovers):
Established back on August 1, 1883, Bristol Rovers are one of the oldest clubs in the League One. Bristol Rovers were formed after a meeting at the Eastville Restaurant under the name of Black Arabs after the Arabs rugby team.
This name, though, lasted no more than one season as the club was renamed Eastville Rovers in 1884. Five years later the club’s name was officially changes to Bristol Rovers. Nicknamed the Pirates, Bristol Rovers welcome their opponents at Memorial Stadium Horfield, the venue with the capacity of 12,296. Bristol Rovers are well known for their blue and white home kit, but they are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels.
Ricky Lambert, who used to play for the likes of Southampton and Liverpool in the Premier League, is regarded as one of the club’s most notable footballers. It has to be noted that Lambert scored 51 goals in 128 appearances for the Pirates in the league.
