Saturday 31st October 2009 MKTD Kicks off Our Match Build Up  Discuss this in the Match Thread MK Dons v Bristol Rovers Saturday 31st October 2009 StadiumMK  Introduction: After a poor performance last week it is nice to be able to move on. We have heard far too much from Rae and Robinson recently and it's time for Incey to stamp his authority and get things moving in the right direction again. And where better place to start than at home against a side that has seemingly lost its way, having now lost five in a row, a series of losses culminating in defeat to local rivals Yeovil Town and table topping Leeds United at home in the last week. Over the past three seasons we have usually come back from a poor performance with a superb one and I suspect we will see a wounded Dons side come roaring back this time. Chadwick is on the verge of a welcome return to the Dons after his recent injury and Ince must now be considering giving Carrington and Jabo a start after recent sub standard performances from the current side. The Dons have signed Barnsley winger Martin Devaney on loan in time to play in this game.  Rovers Factfile: - Known as The Pirates and The Gas, Rovers were founded in 1883 as Black Arabs FC - Their highest ever league position is 6th in the 2nd tier (Currently known as the Championship) - Rovers have never won a major cup competition - Fans once canvassed the club to change the shirt colour to pink - Squad number 12 is allocated to Gasheads in acknowledgment of the support of the 12 man - the fans - The club anthem is Goodnight Irene - Rovers have three previous Dons in their current squad - Carl Regan, Mark Wright and Dominic Blizzard  Rovers in the News: - Southampton to play Bristol Rovers in the 1st round of the FA cup - BRISTOL ROVERS Manager Paul Trollope felt his side were "robbed" after losing 2-1 at home to Yeovil - Paul Trollope believes Bristol Rovers face the toughest week of their season so far - Bristol Rovers have come under fire after refusing to publish an advert from a fans' group backing this weekend's Kick It Out anti-racism campaign  Form Guide: Bristol Rovers 0-4 Leeds United Bristol Rovers 1-2 Yeovil Southend 2-1 Bristol Rovers Norwich 5-1 Bristol Rovers Southampton 2-3 Bristol Rovers Bristol Rovers 1-1 Brighton  Players to watch: Carl REGAN - Former Don will have a point to prove at right back and will be up for this one.
