| abstract | - Andy Dorman joined Rovers on a month's loan from Championship side Crystal Palace in November 2011 in order to provide cover for an injury-depleted midfield, becoming Paul Buckle's 19th signing since taking charge of the club in the summer. The Welsh international went straight into the starting eleven for the FA Cup first round tie against Corby Town, which Rovers won 3–1. He played in every game during his first month, leading to his deal being extended until the end of the 2011–12 season. In all he played in 25 league games and three times in the FA Cup, scoring two league goals before returning to his parent club. It was reported in the local media that he accidentally dropped down two divisions to play for Rovers because he didn't realise that they were playing in League Two rather than League One, but he later put the record straight, stating that although he didn't realise initially that Rovers had been relegated, he was well aware of the situation by the time he signed.
