Bristol Rovers host Shrewsbury Town on Saturday as they look to make it two successive wins at The Memorial Stadium in the league.

The Pirates beat Blackpool 2-1 at home thanks to a late Josh Ginnelly goal before they fell to defeat 3-0 away to Sunderland last weekend.

Ben Garner has been at the club since December and only overseen one league win so far in the first two months but he will be keen to see his side get past Shrewsbury when they come to town this weekend.

Here are three Shrewsbury weaknesses that Bristol Rovers must look to exploit this weekend...

Narrow when defending

Shrewsbury tend to stay quite narrow when they are out of possession and that could end up suiting Bristol Rovers.

Jayden Mitchell-Lawson and Ginnelly can both be a threat from out wide if they are given the ball while Luke Leahy, Tareiq Holmes-Dennis and Mark Little will be able to get forward a lot as well.

If they do, their low crosses could cause them a lot of problems.

Full-backs get tight to their man

The Shrewsbury full-backs Omar Beckles and Kayne Ramsey prefer to get close to their man and nick the ball off their toes as soon as it gets fired into them.

They try to force their winger to go backwards and prevent them from turning down the line and driving into the vacant space left by the full-backs.

Another issue with them is that they aren't the fastest full-backs and Rovers can turn the defensive mindset of the Shrewsbury full-backs into an advantage.

Space in the middle

Space can often open up in the middle when Shrewsbury defend deep and narrow.

Ollie Clarke, Ed Upson and Liam Sercombe may fancy their chances if the ball was to find them 25 yards out with the opposition camped on the edge of their own area.

The midfielders for Rovers will be allowed to pull the strings and look to find their team-mates in good areas behind what is sure to be a defensive Shrewsbury team.
