Bristol Rovers are usually at their best at The Memorial Stadium, with Tom James backing the Gas against any opponent that comes to BS7.
The Pirates are back on track after a difficult October, winning both cup games at the start of November against Sky Bet League One opposition. The Gas beat Cambridge United 2-0 in the Emirates FA Cup, with Reiss Russell-Denny and Fabrizio Cavegn scoring before triumphing over Reading in the Jersey Mike's Trophy.
Now, the focus is on turning the form around in Sky Bet League Two, where the Gas have lost five of their previous six. There is no better place to get back to winning ways than The Mem, where the Gas recorded a club-record 11th consecutive home league win earlier this term.
Speaking to the media before the contest, James knows the Gasheads will be behind the team on Saturday, but understands that it is down to the players to put things right.
A GOOD WEEK AFTER A TOUGH PERIOD
"It's been a tough period for us. I think the game against Cambridge probably came at a good time, taking pressure off the league a little bit. The fact that we went on to put in a good performance and get a good result has helped us big time. It has raised confidence a bit and let us look forward to Saturday."
CAMBRIDGE PERFORMANCE
"I think we went kind of back to basics, which I think, when we do well, we're really good at. I think we showed that on Saturday. It's something that we've spoken about in meetings over the weeks. An easy way to build confidence is by doing the basics well, and I think we did that really well on Saturday. It's something that we're going to carry on from now on.
"It's so easy for bad form to kind of snowball and get away from you. When the confidence goes, it's tough to get back. But I think, with the training we've done and that FA Cup game, that's kind of steadied the ship a bit and, yeah, we're all feeling good now and ready to go for Chesterfield."
GETTING MOMENTUM
"Momentum is massive. Not just with teams, but individuals as well. You see it all over the world, from top to bottom of the leagues. It's really hard to break. I think we've actually done that now because the performance on Tuesday night was good as well for the boys who haven't played as much.
"It kind of shows that whoever's going to play is going to put in a good performance now, and it's time to move on. It's all part of it, getting as many people as possible and as many minutes as we can so they're ready to do their best in league games. I think that worked really well on Tuesday."
CHESTERFIELD PREVIEW
"From the games we've had so far this season, from teams lower down the league to teams at the top of the league, you never get an easy run. We know Saturday is going to be tough for its own reasons. They've had a decent start, so they'll be high on confidence. It's up to us to put things right.
"I think a lot of the preparation we do is based on us. We know that if we're at our best, we're going to give anyone a game. We'll go through video and all the stuff like that on how to counter a possession style of football. But yeah, I have no doubt that if we turn up and put in a performance as we should, then we'll be alright."
PLAYING AT THE MEM
"I think everyone loves playing there. Even in our bad run of form, we're still getting big crowds with a really good atmosphere, which is a massive help for us. I don't see that changing anytime soon. They've been amazing for us all season so far and, yeah, we're going to back ourselves at home against whoever turns up. That'll be the same on Saturday.
"I mean, a run of games can change the league table massively. If we go on a positive run now until Christmas, then I've got no doubt that we're going to be right in amongst it. But that's only going to happen if we put in performances like the Cambridge one."
