NONE of the following players was involved at the start of Rovers' game with West Ham - Tim Flowers, Jeff Kenna, Christian Dailly, Stephane Henchoz, Gary Croft, Damien Johnson, Garry Flitcroft, Billy McKinlay, Damien Duff, Chris Sutton and Kevin Gallacher (subs: Dario Marcolin, Alan Fettis, Kevin Davies, Martin Taylor and James Thomas).

Obviously, eight of this "team" were injured - an indication of Rovers' problems - but I am sure this team would have been able to collect at least a point at Upton Park.

Let's hope the injury situation eases very quickly.
