Lee Brown insists Bristol Rovers have a score to settle with Bradford City when the Bantams visit the Memorial Stadium tomorrow.

For the defender and his team-mates believe they were only denied victory at Valley Parade earlier in the season by two dubious spot-kick decisions.

Brown was the man controversially penalised in stoppage time when Bradford's Jamie Devitt went to ground, allowing Michael Flynn the chance to fire home his second penalty of the game and secure the home side's late leveller in a 2-2 draw.

Angry Paul Buckle – the Pirates' boss at the time – accused Devitt of diving and claimed some of his Bradford team-mates later apologised for what had happened.

Devitt had also gone down for Bradford's earlier penalty – with Rovers striker Matt Harrold still insisting he too was on the wrong end of the decision.

"Everyone here thinks we owe them one," said Brown.

"We felt very hard done-by in the changing room afterwards because we didn't think either of them were penalties. But that's football, and hopefully we might get a few decisions go our way this weekend."

Brown was running shoulder-to-shoulder with Devitt when the Bradford man appeared to throw himself to the floor in the dying moments.

"I'm quite strong in my upper body and sometimes I get done for that a bit too often – people go down and it looks as though I've pushed them, but I haven't," said Brown.

"My heart was in my mouth when it happened in the last minute at Bradford and I couldn't believe the penalty was given. The three points we'd deserved were pretty much in the bag."

Brown is confident he will be fit for tomorrow's game – new boss Mark McGhee's first home match since taking over – despite having treatment for a calf injury he sustained in last weekend's 2-0 victory at Cheltenham.

That saw the summer recruit from QPR switched into a midfield role for the first time in his career after playing all his previous outings for the club as a left-back.

"The first thing I knew about the switch was on Friday morning – but as long as I'm not on the bench, I don't mind where I play," said Brown.

"If I helped in any way to get a clean sheet and two goals for the team, then I'm delighted.

"The gaffer gave me and Andy Dorman a free role to go and join in with the attack if the ball went forward, which I enjoy.

"I'd played in midfield in my schoolboy days a few times, but this was the first time I'd ever done it as a professional. I'm not sure how well it went – although I'm probably my own biggest critic.

"It's a role that's new to me, but I'm willing to learn and because I like to get forward when I can, hopefully it's something I can do well if I'm asked to do it again."

After being ever-present during a 27-game run, Brown suddenly found himself starting on the bench for the last few games of Buckle's reign.

"He left me out for whatever reason. Maybe my performances had dropped off a little bit and I did need a couple of games rest. But I'm back now, I feel refreshed and hopefully I can kick on again," said Brown.

"Results have picked up for us recently, but all we can do is take things on a game-by-game basis."
