Steve Evans: Bristol Rovers boss says he will go if he’s not wanted

The 64-year-old says he will now reflect on the job he is doing at the Memorial Stadium as he looks to reverse Rovers’ stuttering form but wants to see his players perform the basics week to week.

“I’ll go away and think about everything,” he said. “I’ll go away and think about my job, am I doing my job effectively?

“Can I affect the players differently to how we’re affecting them at the minute because it’s certainly not right, we’ve got players who turn up one week and disappear for two weeks. You wouldn’t recognise some of them. Paul said coming off the pitch, we have to reflect on whether we are doing our jobs.

“Passion, fight, energy, commitment – those are the basics. We delivered none of the basics in the first 30 minutes of the game and that’s just simple.”
