Facing in-form Mansfield Town on Saturday is a chance for Bristol Rovers to regain momentum and "put right the disappointment of Tuesday night", Joey Barton believes.
The Pirates' six-game unbeaten run was ended by relegation-threatened Oldham Athletic in midweek and next up on the slate are the surging Stags, who have climbed from the bottom third of the table to enter the running for League Two's automatic promotion places in recent weeks and months.
Rovers' confidence may have been dented by Tuesday's poor performance, but Barton is relishing the challenge to take on the form side in the fourth tier, with the Gas in need of points to boost their bid for the play-offs.
