Harris: 'They will be coming to Roots Hall without too much pressure on their shoulders'
When Bomber Harris speaks we all listen, and he had a few words to say about the weekend game with the Pirates.
Harris told www.echo-news.co.uk: We will need to be at our best at the weekend again too because I view Bristol Rovers as very dangerous opponents. Before the season started, they were heavily tipped to be going for promotion and to be in the top seven, but it hasn’t quite happened for them yet this season. They’re a bit lower down than I certainly expected but they have good players who, on their day, can definitely pull together to beat any team in League Two. They’re quite inconsistent and can probably lose to anyone in the league as well but they will be coming to Roots Hall without too much pressure on their shoulders."
Indeed they wont, it could be closer than a lot of the faithful think.
