Match Preview - Exeter City v Rovers

9 November 2021

The Gas head to Exeter City in the final group-stage fixture of the Papa John's Trophy.

Wednesdays' game will decide who will join Chelsea's U21s in progressing from Southern Group E to the knockout stages.

Rovers have three points from two games in the competition so far, thanks to victory at home to Cheltenham in the opening group stage fixture. 

A win, a draw (with a bonus penalty win point) will be enough on Wednesday evening for the Gas to plot a way through to the knockout stages of the completion for the fourth year in succession. 

Coach's Preview 

First-team coach, Andy Mangan, spoke with the local press on Tuesday morning via Zoom. 

Mangan insisted that the side will be looking to carry on demonstrating their good away form at St James Park on Wednesday evening.

"I think it’s five games unbeaten away from home and we want to continue that," said the coach.

"We want to keep that momentum going and winning creates belief. At the moment, belief is really high in the camp."
