Bristol Rovers look to bounce back from successive defeats
Posted Tuesday, August 14, 2018 by PA
Bristol Rovers boss Darrell Clarke will be looking for a response from his team against Carabao Cup opponents Crawley.
Rovers go into the Memorial Stadium encounter on the back of successive Sky Bet League One defeats at the hands of Peterborough and Accrington.
Stefan Payne, who scored on his full debut in the Accrington game, could again start, while Alex Jakubiak will be hoping for an opportunity after missing out on Saturday.
Clarke also has a handful of injuries to deal with, and the likes of Joe Partington and Tareiq Holmes-Dennis are not expected to be involved.
Crawley could have a newcomer in their ranks for the trip.
Manager Harry Kewell has brought in former Notts County midfielder Rob Milsom on a short-term contract, and subject to League ratification, he could be available against Rovers.
Milsom had a successful trial spell with the Reds during pre-season and becomes Kewell’s 11th signing of the summer.
Kewell, meanwhile, looks set to make changes from the side beaten 3-1 at home by Stevenage on Saturday.
