Paul Dickov’s men travel to bottom of the table Crewe Alexandra on Saturday, with the aim of winning back to back league games for the first time since March.  Confidence should be back amongst the Rovers side after solid victories recently over Weston Super Mare and Rochdale, and also three wins in the last four games.

Last Saturdays late winning goals by Theo Robinson and Curtis main pushed Rovers up to 16th in the table and they will be looking to move up to mid table with victory at Gresty Road.

The hosts from Cheshire are battling hard with a very young side on a limited budget.  Crewe are currently three points from safety and will be striving for victory just as much as Rovers.  The Railwaymen are without a victory in their last six games but Rovers will still have to keep a close eye on loanee striker Nicky Ajose.  The Leeds striker knows where the goal is after scoring 17 goals last season for Swindon and Peterborough in League One.

Rovers only injury worry is left back Cedric Evina who remains sidelined.  Midfielder Jamie Coppinger should be ok to play despite being taken off last week at Rochdale.  Rob Jones could also feature in the squad.

Heres hoping for another successful away day and 3 points to move Rovers further up the table.

Come on you reds!

Overall record v Crewe:  P 94 / W 39 / D 24 / L 31
