Caretaker boss Stuart Campbell suffered his first managerial defeat in a 1–0 reverse at the hands of Huddersfield Town, dropping Rovers down to 23rd place out of the 24 teams in the division. Harry Pell was handed a full debut after having previously made two substitute appearances over the course of the season. Rovers conceded an early goal to The Terriers, scored by Jordan Rhodes–a man who wasn't even due to start the game, but who received his call-up after Gary Roberts was injured during the warm-up. The Pirates battled valiantly for most of the game, without any reward for their efforts, not helped when they had two late goals disallowed–one for a foul on the 'keeper and the other for offside.
