Brighton
Bristol Rovers manager Ray Graydon will be forced to plan without Graham Hyde for the second successive match when his side meet Brighton in the Carling Cup.

Hyde has a hamstring strain and missed Saturday's victory over Scunthorpe but could be in contention for this weekend's league encounter with Rochdale.

Wayne Carlisle has a slight Achilles problem but is not expected to be absent, and Graydon is unlikely to make many changes to his line-up.

Darius Henderson will miss the trip for Brighton but aside from that, Steve Coppell will have the same squad he took to Oldham to choose from.

Henderson, who is on loan and scored in the 3-1 win over the Latics on Saturday, has not been given permission to play by Reading.

The match also comes too soon for John Piercy, who is still recovering from a stomach bug.

The corner quietly rusting
Just been reading the prevew on the "official" site of the BR match.

It seems they are a better squad thanks to the money they got from the sale of Zamora.

One comment on the site though from SC, "they seem to be the main benificiaries of that sale even though for the last 3 years he probably hasen't been to Brisol!"

Erm Hello he's been there with us, he scored against BC!
