Rovers make the 294 mile round trip to take on John Yems' Crawley Town on Tuesday evening in our latest league outing.
The Gas will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Crawley Town tomorrow evening. Crawley Town manager, John Yems will be absent from the touchline on Tuesday evening as he is still serving a three-match suspension for using abusive and insulting words towards a match official following the end of their EFL League 2 fixture against Hartlepool United on Saturday, 12th February 2022. Rovers won the reverse fixture earlier in the season thanks to a goal from debutant Leon Clarke who nodded the ball home after getting on the end of an Antony Evans cross.
Manager's Preview
Joey Barton has said that his team will need to 'get right back on the horse' on Tuesday evening after our 1-0 defeat against Newport County last weekend.
"There are lots of twists and turns between now and the end of the season. Saturday was an opportunity to go above Newport having closed a bit of ground on them it became a six-pointer.
But again, lots of tough fixtures. Our Fixtures and Newport’s fixtures. They’ve got pretty much everyone in the top seven or eight to play between now and the end of the season.
We’ve got lots of times in and around there to play. So it’s all to play for. We got ourselves back in the race and if we run our race as we did in the first half, it won’t be a successful finish.
So, we must be better. In recent weeks and months, we have been and I’ve got no doubt the lads will be on Tuesday night."
