Rovers host Cambridge United this weekend, with the game kicking-off at the earlier time of 1pm at The Bolt New Lawn.

Just six points separate the two sides in the League One table - with Rovers looking to follow up last weekend's FA Cup victory over Alvechurch.

Here, we take a look at Saturday's opponents.

IN THE DUGOUT: MARK BONNER

A former season-ticket holder at the Abbey Stadium, Bonner is Cambridge born and bred. He started working at the Club's academy in 2011, before he made his way into the first-team set-up - taking the managerial reins on a temporary basis on a couple of occasions.

In March 2020, he was appointed as Cambridge's permanent Head Coach - and he led his boyhood side to an unlikely promotion to League One in his first full season in charge.

As if that wasn't impressive enough, the Amber Army survived with ease on their return to League One. Bonner's side finished 14th - a whole 18 points clear of the drop zone.

ONE TO WATCH: LLOYD JONES

No player in the Cambridge United squad has played more minutes this season than centre-back Lloyd Jones.

The 27-year-old joined the Amber Army last summer for their first campaign back in League One. Jones joined Liverpool as a 15-year-old , but he struggled to breakthrough into the first-team picture - and loan spells at Cheltenham Town, Accrington Stanley, Blackpool and Swindon Town followed.

He was signed by Luton Town in 2018 - with Cambridge securing his services three years later. He has played every second of League One action so far this term.

PLAYED FOR BOTH SIDES: PAUL DIGBY

Cambridge midfielder Digby played for Rovers during the 2018/19 season, as FGR made the League Two play-offs for the first time in their history.

Digby played 45 times for Rovers that season - with his only goal coming in a win over Cambridge. The former England Under-20s international played both in defence and in midfield throughout the season - before Stevenage snapped him up in the summer of 2019.

He was on the move again 12 months later as Bonner made him his second signing of the 2020 summer transfer window. He has played the best football of his career with the U's - making 119 appearances and being a crucial part of the side that won promotion to League One in 2021.

LAST TIME WE MET

The two teams last met back in March 2021, with Cambridge coming out 1-0 winners at The Abbey.

Lewis Thomas saved a Paul Mullin penalty after 17 minutes of the League Two clash - but The U's went into half-time with the advantage thanks to Wes Hoolahan's strike.

Aaron Collins missed a golden chance to equalise in the second period, with his header sailing wide of Callum Burton's post.
