Team News | Smallwood captains Rovers against Crawley

TEAM NEWS

Steve Evans has named his Bristol Rovers team to face Crawley Town in Sky Bet League Two.

The Manager makes one enforced change to the side that beat Newport County 5-3 at The Memorial Stadium last weekend. Richie Smallwood replaces the injured Keenan Gough and captains the team.

The front line of Tommy Leigh, Shaq Forde, Bobby Kamwa and Fabrizio Cavegn all start together again as they look to have the same impact they had in the Severnside derby.
