Joey Barton would have been delighted with a mid-table finish for his side in League One this season.

The Gas has never been close to any relegation danger throughout the campaign. However, Antony Evans’s last-gasp penalty secured a point for them at home against Derby County at the weekend.

That ensured Barton’s side remained unbeaten with seven points from their last three games, with Charlton Athletic and Lincoln City only three points ahead of them in the 11th and 12th positions, respectively.

Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, needs a win when they face Preston North End at home. The Owls have just one win from their last eight games, which has helped Plymouth Argyle and Ipswich Town overtake them in the automatic promotion spots.

Their rivals both have a game in hand on Darren Moore’s side as well, meaning that anything shy of maximum points from their last four matches may not be enough if they are to return to the Championship through the easiest route on offer.

Bristol Rovers will be without Nick Anderton through illness. However, John Marquis could return to lead the attack, while Evans may be thrown in for a start after coming off the bench to score the crucial equalizer against Derby last time.

As a result, Michael Smith is likely to replace Paterson in the visitors’ front line with Lee Gregory. In contrast, Dominic Iorfa may replace Dennis Adeniran to allow Liam Palmer to return to his favored right-wing-back role. This move would allow him to continue scoring five times this season.
