because Promise Omochere and Ellis Harrison are a physical presence in the box and getting more deliveries in the box is obvious when you have bigger centre forwards that are going to get on the end of it,” Clarke explained. “We have had more tens, and Fabrizio Cavegn is the only one on the shoulder nine. So, we have had to be adaptable.”
Approach to Accrington Stanley
Above all, Clarke remains focused on the immediate challenge at hand: securing a victory against Accrington Stanley. The manager highlighted the respect he has for the club and acknowledged that it will be a tough test.
“It’s a club that I think deserves a lot of respect because it’s been run the right way,” Clarke stated. “Accrington in League One, with John Coleman, were certainly punching well above their weight, and they continue to do that. So, it’s a club that is well respected by me, and I know it’s such a tough place to go, but we are going up there with a plan and to put up a performance that brings us back the win.”
With a history of struggles away from home and an upcoming match against a formidable opponent, Bristol Rovers will need to perform at their best if they hope to claim their first victory on the road in this season’s League Two fixtures.
