Overview
- Bristol Rovers’ 4-0 loss to Barnet confirmed a ninth straight league defeat and left them a point above the League Two drop zone.
- Manager Darrell Clarke said he will never quit and insisted he can turn the team around, while accepting he got tactics and selection wrong in midweek.
- Across the losing run Rovers have scored three and conceded 24, giving them the division’s worst goal difference at minus 20.
- The derby brings promotion-chasing Swindon to the Memorial Stadium with Ian Holloway returning as Robins manager.
- Midfielder Josh McEachran is suspended, and local reports predict Clarke could adjust shape and personnel in search of a response.
