Bristol Rovers head coach Paul Trollope believes the Memorial Stadium crowd has a big part to play in Tuesday's FA Cup replay with Premier League side Fulham.

Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol: "The fans can make a huge difference. The crowd that went to Craven Cottage made it a really unbelievable occasion.

"To get a full house again for a home cup tie under the lights will make it a special night.

"The players have to produce to make sure that everyone goes home happy."

Defender Craig Hinton has scored in every round so far, including putting Rovers 2-1 up in the initial tie before Danny Murphy earned the Cottagers a replay.

There is no pressure on us to win because it is against Premier League opposition

And Hinton believes the Pirates' performance in London has given them the confidence that they can cause an upset.

"We will take confidence from that, plus our form recently," said Hinton.

"We have done well in out last three league games, got victories and that can take us forward.

"There is no pressure on us to win because it is against Premier League opposition so we will be going out trying to keep our run going."
