No molluscs are harmed as Swindon Town continue to rediscover their backbone in the rain at Bristol Rovers

Ian Holloway said he would have killed a mollusc for the week Swindon Town had, though how exactly that would have helped the Robins rediscover their backbone and claw their way out of a rut in form is unclear.
Still, rediscover their backbone they have, and without a clam or a scallop in sight.
After the midweek mayhem at Barnet, the trip to Bristol Rovers brought a somewhat damper occasion in more ways than one, amid the pouring rain at the Memorial Stadium.
It was not an occasion for the purists, as both teams' inefficiency with the ball and ineffectiveness in front of goal were exposed in the howling gales and showers, but it was at least a point, and a third game unbeaten, which, after the misery of the previous six weeks, is a stepping stone, even if not a large leap up the League Two table.
