Crawley Info: http://www.not606.com/threads/a-guide-to-sky-bet-league-2-2015-2016-season.302580/#post-8000783

All news and build up to Saturday's game will appear on this thread.

The poll will close on Nov 20, 2015 at 4:51 PM.

My Prediction: Crawley have won their last three home games scoring six and conceding three they've had good wins over Orient and Luton respectively. I really hope we can revenge the 4-1 defeat we suffered their the last time we met in the league but I think we will have to do with a point. Crawley 1 - 1 Gas (Taylor)

 

I'm going to this one...staying in Brighton Friday night visiting offspring!
A new ground for me.......looks like it'll be bluddy cold.

 

This fixture was the last time I went away (not including Wembley) and we lost 4-1 of course. Have fun

TEAM NEWS
Lanre Oyebanjo (knee) and Joe McNerney (knee) are missing for the Reds. Josh Yorwerth returns from his international spell with Wales under-21s.
Rovers' only absentee is goalkeeper Will Puddy, who is set to be out for an extended period. Welsh under-21s Ellis Harrison and Tom Lockyer return from international duty for the Gas.
THE FORM GUIDE
The Reds are unbeaten in their last three league games and still sit 16th in the Sky Bet League Two table. We come into the game off the back of a 2-2 draw against Exeter, which saw Luke Rooney score a fantastic stoppage-time equaliser to claim a point at St James Park.
Bristol Rovers, who were promoted via the Conference Play-Off Final last year, currently sit eighth in the league and have won their last two league games. They have won six times on the road already this season.
VIEW FROM THE BENCH
Mark Yates: "They were unlucky to be relegated, but they bounced back quickly, which is vital because if you stay down there for too long then you might struggle to find your way back into the Football League. Fair play to Darrell (Clarke) and his squad, not just for promotion but for getting up the table as well because they've done a great job so far this season."
WE’VE MET BEFORE?
In our first season in the Football League in 2011-12, we beat Rovers 4-1 at home thanks to goals from Tyrone Barnett (2), Matt Tubbs and Ben Smith while the visit to the Memorial Stadium ended in a 0-0 draw.
Two years ago the teams met in the FA Cup. After a goalless draw at Rovers, in John Gregory's first game in charge, the replay was abandoned because of a waterlogged pitch at 0-0. When the game was re-staged Rovers won 2-1 to reach the third round.

Yates looking forward to tough home game

Mark Yates looks ahead to Saturday's home game against Bristol Rovers.
Yates on ....
Form going into Saturday
We’re doing alright, no more than that. We’re building without looking over our shoulders nervously. We’re relatively happy with our form the last eight games, we needed to win games and enthuse the home support, but we didn’t do it at the start of the season. But now we know what it takes to win at home and get the crowd excited. I think the FA Cup game against Luton was our best performance of the season, despite the result, and we will need something similar on Saturday.
Bristol Rovers visit
Bristol are a big club with a great fan base. They were unlucky to be relegated but they bounced back quickly which is vital because if you stay down there for too long then you might struggle to find your way back into the Football League. Fair play to Darrell (Clarke) and his squad, not just for promotion, but for getting up the table as well. They have done a great job so far this season.
Players' mood and training
I’ve had a good day watching the players work towards Saturday, there’s a good spirit within the club and squad. Ardingly College are brilliant and do a fantastic job with the (training ground) pitches, considering the weather. I've been very impressed with the attitude over the last six or so weeks, it's been spot on and everything is smoother when the results go your way obviously. We've got players chomping at the bit to get in the team and then those working hard to keep their place in the side which is a good mix.
Injury news
Jon Ashton took a whack to his cheek bone, he was feeling dazed and came off against Exeter but he's trained and will be okayfor this Saturday. We've still got Joe McNerney and Lanre Oyebanjo sidelined at the moment, but other than that everyone else has trained and are fit for this weekend and we have Josh Yorwerth back with us too.

 

Matt Harold to score against us on Saturday most of our ex players seem to. liked that FIFA 16 clip some of our players look quite quick on it

 

Unchanged starting 11 for us. Lockyer and Harrison return to the squad but starts on the bench.
