Crusaders know there is no room for error when they travel to the Showgrounds tonight.
Stephen Baxter's side have slipped off the title pace with two straight defeats in the Danske Bank Premiership.
A late loss to Linfield was followed by a surprise 3-1 reverse against Carrick Rangers last weekend.
They are now eight points off leaders Linfield heading into their next instalment against Ballymena United.

What's been said?
Crusaders defender Jarlath O'Rourke: “We can’t afford to let the gap widen,” admits the 25-year-old full-back. Hopefully, the league programme will go the distance of 38 games because we will now need everyone one of those games. If we get a full round of matches, it will give us the chance of reeling in Linfield and Larne. It would also mean we play the Blues again twice.”
