Team News: Nathan Blissett comes in for Ellis Harrison in only Bristol Rovers change

Blissett comes in for suspended Harrison

Bristol Rovers manager Darrell Clarke has made one change to his starting lineup for the second leg of his side's Conference Premier playoff semi-final meeting against Forest Green Rovers.

Nathan Blissett comes into the side from the 1-0 first-leg win earlier this week, with the suspended Ellis Harrison the man to make way.

The Pirates, who dropped out of the Football League last season, have also drafted Jamie Lucas into the matchday squad as they look to get the job done against Forest Green.

David Pipe has been selected in an unfamiliar left-back role for the visitors once more, while top scorer Jon Parkin has been given the nod to lead the forward line.

Bristol Rovers: Puddy; Lockyer, McChrystal, Parkes, Brown; Gosling, Mansell, Lines, Monkhouse; Taylor, Blissett Subs: Mildenhall, Balanta, Clarke, Leadbitter, Lucas

Forest Green Rovers: Arnold, Bennett, Coles, Pipe, Jennings, Racine, Marwood, Sinclair, Frear, Guthrie, Parkin Subs: Russell, Clough, Norwood, Wedgbury, Kamdjo
