Rovers Manager Vows January Fix Amid Relegation Fears

Bristol Rovers manager Steve Evans has vowed to overhaul the struggling squad during the January transfer window. The team's "terrible" year concluded with a 2-0 home defeat against Barnet, leaving them just one point above the relegation places in League Two. Evans stated that the club's owner is committed to providing funds to strengthen the team.

Following the recent loss, Evans revealed a positive meeting with the owner and director of football, confirming that resources will be allocated to player acquisitions. He emphasized that despite current efforts, the team is not getting value for money and that the January window is crucial for improvement. Evans expressed confidence in fixing the team's problems through strategic signings.

The manager acknowledged the players' effort but noted some are hesitant to be brave when needed. He deemed the seven consecutive home defeats unacceptable and stressed that inaction would be unforgivable. Barnet manager Dean Brennan praised his team's athleticism and their ability to counter Rovers' tactics, securing a vital away win.
