Bristol Rovers’ Televised Trip to Barnet Puts Record Losing Run on the Line

A ninth straight league defeat would set a club record, potentially dropping Rovers into the relegation places.

Overview

  • Rovers arrive on eight consecutive League Two losses, sitting 21st with 18 points from 17 games, one point above the drop zone.
  • Saturday’s 1-0 FA Cup exit at Port Vale was settled by Ben Waine’s 47th-minute goal, after which Darrell Clarke condemned the defending as “Sunday League.”
  • Clarke shifted from a 3-5-2 to a 3-4-3 at Vale Park and made five substitutions as his side chased an equaliser that never came.
  • Bristol Live predicts Kacper Lopata will return to the starting back three at Barnet, with Josh McEachran pushing to start in midfield and Jack Sparkes likely at left wing-back.
  • Tonight’s match kicks off at 7:45pm and is available live on Sky Sports+ and via NOW streaming, with Barnet seeking to end a sequence of five straight draws.
