After reflecting on another narrow loss, both described the upcoming League Two match against Barnet tonight as a "big game".

Clarke said: "We can't feel sorry for ourselves. We've got another game, a big game on Tuesday night against Barnet. We have to make sure we prep and prepare right for that and try and bounce back then."

Conteh said: "We have a big game on Tuesday, so we'll have to look into that and look at what we've done wrong today, but also take the positives and try to get a result at Barnet."

When asked about the Rovers away supporters, the 22-year-old midfielder added: "They did come in their numbers, I can't fault them for that. So, we definitely need to give them something on Tuesday. It will be a tough game. Obviously, they were promoted last season, so I think we need to take the game to them. I think if we play like how we did in the first half today, but convert chances, and I think we'll be good."
