Sorry to sound negative but I think we will lose this game the only thing DC is yet to achieve with us is is a decent cup run (not that I care about cup competition anymore ). 2-1 Crawley win and after defeat to Pompey we can concentrate solely on the league.

 

I think we'll have a bit of a run in the cup for a change...

 

This was the last away game I went to (excluding Wembley) the one where we lost 4-1 probably one of the worse performances I've seen by us. So we owe them a stuffing

 

I cant decide how this game will go - part of me couldn't care less about the cup competitions, would rather we exit early and concentrate on the league, then another part of me recognises that victory breeds confidence and momentum and of course generates income. Going for a draw and a replay so sitting on the fence and hedging my bets. Don't envy Swindon playing Eastleigh later, and on TV aswell! Real banana skin for them - brings back memories of Hayes, Kettering and Chesham etc plus a few others from our past that nightmares were made of! Reckon Eastleigh will do them. Shame! Ha Ha!!

 

I don't really care about the early rounds, but with a rub of the green a cup run is great...

 

I think we will win. I think DC will play a weaker side using the fringe players as he can do this. He cant do this midweek vs Portsmouth as there is a rule in the micky mouse cup that so many has to be 1st teamers. The fringe players will all have something to prove and I think we will easily get through this game. Say 3-0 or 3-1 or even better!

Team News: Rovers have a fully fit squad to choose from heading into the game.

Darrell's View:"We have got a lot of respect for Crawley and I think that Dermot Drummy has done a good job after joining them at a difficult time and we are expecting a tough battle on Saturday."


"I know that our FA Cup record hasn't been fantastic since I have been at the club, but we will give it a right good go on Saturday and we won't prepare any differently and we will travel to Crawley looking to get a positive result that is for sure."

Opposition: Tomorrow's opponents Crawley Town currently sit in 10th place in the SkyBet League Two table having collected 20 points from their 15 fixtures this season. Last time out Dermot Drummy's men suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of unbeaten Carlisle United.

Dangerman - James Collins: The experienced forward has five league goals to his name so far this season and has scored in both of Crawley's Checkatrade Trophy fixtures, taking him to a tally of seven goals for the season.

Last season Collins was part of the Northampton Town side that won promotion from Sky Bet League Two and joined Crawley Town on a free transfer in the summer.
Last Time Out: Darrell Clarke's men ran out 3-0 winners against the Reds at the Memorial Stadium back in April thanks to a lovely Liam Lawrence free kick and a brace from Matty Taylor..
