Clarke Vows to Fight On as Rovers Enter Swindon Derby on Record Losing Run
Bristol Rovers are one point above the relegation zone following a club-record ninth straight defeat.
Overview
- The 4-0 loss to Barnet on Tuesday confirmed nine league defeats in a row, which Darrell Clarke called “diabolical.”
- Clarke admitted tactical errors against Barnet, saying team selection and shape were on him after switching from 3-4-2-1 to 4-3-3 at half-time.
- Rovers have scored three and conceded 24 during the run, leaving them with the division’s worst goal difference at -20.
- The manager says he will never quit and insists he can turn the club around, urging supporters to back the team.
- Swindon visit the Memorial Stadium on Saturday under Ian Holloway, and Rovers could drop into the bottom two if Harrogate Town better their result.
