The Rovers number one makes a welcome return after complications following a back operation sidelined the former England man. Robinson replaces Simon Eastwood who drops to the bench.
The other two changes sees Academy graduates Adam Henley and Jason Lowe both return to the starting eleven, with DJ Campbell and Jordan Rhodes named as substitutes.
