How will it go? Rovers should come back with at least a point. I fancy them to take all three.

Words of wisdom: I want to score in every game and I will definitely be looking to score tonight. But if I do, I don't think I'll be celebrating to show respect to the Rovers fans. That's not to say I won't be celebrating inside – but I'll have to show respect for the time I had there – Southampton's Rickie Lambert on the clash with his former club
