If any single individual captures the confidence Joey Barton proliferated through his Bristol Rovers squad this season, it is Aaron Collins. The forward was in nightmare territory at his new club, failing to score in the first three months of the campaign, but by the end of the 46th game, he was atop the scoring charts and a hero of the Pirates' promotion.
The celebrations in the wake of the incredible 7-0 win over Scunthorpe United on the final day to snatch a place in the top three are only just starting to die down, with anticipation already high ahead of the new season.
Collins has been mooted as a transfer target for League One rivals Portsmouth this summer, but the 18-goal striker is excited by the possibilities that could await the Gas next season. He spoke of the belief that Barton has instilled that no achievement is beyond them, both collectively and personally.
