Rovers conceded six goals in a game for the third time in the 2010–11 season, going down 6–1 to bottom of the league Walsall in a game where the scoreline accurately reflected the performance on the pitch. The one bright spot came when Jeff Hughes gave The Pirates a lifeline early in the second half when his goal pulled the score back to 3–1, but Walsall hit back just 63 seconds later to effectively end Rovers' hopes of taking anything from the game.
