Rovers face a maiden visit to Salford City next in the Sky Bet League Two
In our previous game, we drew 2-2 against Tranmere Rovers at the Mem. A result which saw the end of three home games on the spin in which Rovers won two, including a dramatic winner against Oxford United in the Emirates FA Cup and a 2-1 victory over Northampton Town.
The Gas now face a midweek trip to Salford City. Rovers have never faced off against the Manchester based side before, so make sure to get up to speed ahead of the game with our match preview.
Manager's Preview
Rovers boss, Joey Barton has said that the players have grown in confidence off the back of an unbeaten run of three home games in a row.
"I think the lads will grow in confidence from that (unbeaten week at the Mem). We've been really good away from home before this period which allowed us to come into the Mem with a bit more confidence and galvanise the fanbase.
Whilst we didn't take maximum points from Saturday's game against Tranmere Rovers. We've still given a good account of ourselves aswell as a good performance, we've managed to progress in the cup sandwiched inbetween that.
Now back to two really tough away fixtures. Salford who I think were early season favourites for the division and Forest Green who are riding high at the top of the division. Two really tough fixtures but it's another chance for us to test our teamship and it's a challenge that we will look to meet head on."
