Fresh off a morale-boosting win, Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers are preparing to face high-flying Barnsley at the Mem in League One on Saturday, and a couple of familiar faces are set to feature for the Tykes.
Bobby Thomas and Luke Thomas will be in Michael Duff's squad after featuring for the Gas in the past 12 months. The former was part of Rovers' defence for the first half of the season before cutting his loan from Burnley short to join Barnsley, while Thomas was on loan from Oakwell last season and played a significant role in Rovers' promotion triumph.
Rovers, of course, know plenty about them, but Barnsley as a whole will pose a big challenge. The Tykes have won four straight games, including a win over promotion rivals Derby County last time out, and they have moved into automatic promotion contention as a result.
