Following hard on the heels of two excellent results against Utd and Liverpool Rovers entertain bottom of the table West Ham tomorrow. Manager, Graeme Souness, has warned his squad against complacency and underlined the potential the Hammers provide for a holiday banana skin. Rovers tricky 4 match holiday programme began with two of the league's top teams and as we line-up to face West Ham and Boro the players must be looking to build on the last two matches. Ten points from a possible twelve would represent an excellent Christmas tally.
