Rovers faced Oldham Athletic on September 4th 2010. Following the 4-0 defeat to Southampton the previous Saturday, manager Paul Trollope made four changes to the lineup. Mikkel Andersen, who's loan had been extended during the week, was unable to get back to England after representing Denmark U21s the previous evening, so Mike Green made his first league appearance for Rovers. Carl Regan returned to the starting lineup, replacing James Tunnicliffe. Wayne Brown was suffering from an injury, so Dominic Blizzard took his place in midfield while loan signing John Akinde took a place on the bench replacing Darryl Duffy who'd left to join Hibernian on loan.
