Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope is eyeing success in this season's Johnstones Paint Trophy, starting at Edgar Street on Tuesday night.
Speaking to their official site, Trollope said: "The Johnstone's Paint Trophy served us well a couple of seasons ago, we had a disappointing exit at Bournemouth in the first round last year, and we want to go as far as we can in the competition. It is important to win games to breed confidence in the group.
"At the moment we are concentrating on Wycombe, but when it comes round we will be fully focussed on it and it is a tie we look forward to and look to progress through. When we went through to the final three years ago we were a mid-table League Two side, now we look at ourselves as a top half League One side, and that means you have to be one of the favourites to progress quite far in the competition, and we will try and do that.
"We know it does build confidence in the group when you win games, it also brings some extra revenue for the football club, which is always handy, and we will be going to Hereford to win. There are some big clubs in our division, but within the initial rounds in the Southern cluster, we would consider ourselves a strong outfit.
"It is a competition we will take seriously and we want to progress through to the next round."
