And they could really do with a pick-me-up!

Rovers have dropped to 15th in League Two following a run of just one win in 11 games.

Harrogate have shown some real character of late – bouncing back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with AFC Wimbledon and Leyton Orient most recently – but they remain just three points above the drop zone.

It ends all square. Rovers have forgotten how to win.

They had a much-needed victory in their grasp here after leading 2-0.

But another defensive error let Harrogate back into the game and Rovers then failed to weather the storm that followed.

Burrell fires over after Mitchell failed to hold a cross.

Substitute Kyle Hurst has added some energy but Rovers are struggling to get anything going.

Armstrong tests Mitchell with a low shot.

Harrogate on top.

Deary me. Pattison almost makes it three for the hosts after Mitchell goes walkabout.

Rovers have gone to pieces.

Eastman picks up a loose ball on the edge of the box and fires home.

Harrogate came from 2-0 down in their last two games to draw 2-2...

The hosts have got their tails up now.

Slips from Mitchell and Long before Armstrong eventually prods home from close range.

A very poor goal to concede - allowing Harrogate straight back into the game.

Molyneux’s shot takes a little deflection and nestles in the bottom corner.

Good work from Barlow and Agard in the build-up.
