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.
