A heavy defeat at the hands of Carlisle United marked Dave Penney's second game as Rovers manager, a loss that meant The Pirates had now gone three months without a league win.
Although Rovers acquitted themselves well in the early stages of the match they later self-destructed when Gary Sawyer conceded two penalties and Danny Coles got himself sent off for a two-footed lunge on François Zoko.
