Lambert has scored 18 goals for Bristol Rovers this term

Bristol Rovers have not had any enquiries regarding star striker Rickie Lambert during the transfer window.

Speculation suggested the 26-year-old, who has scored 18 goals this term, could be heading for the Memorial Stadium exit in January.

But head coach Paul Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol: "It's all quiet on that front and that's the way we want it.

"He's our top scorer, he's crucial to the way we play and we want him to stay at the club."

Trollope has promised his squad an intense training period before the trip to Leyton Orient.

Rovers have not been in action since 28 December and Trollope fears Orient could catch his side cold.

"We've got to make sure the intensity's right as that's probably the thing you lose, a little bit of sharpness and real intensity in your play so we've tried to recreate that as much as possible in everything we do," he added.

"We need a good tempo to training to make sure we're ready for Orient who will be battle hardened."
