Aaron Collins opens up on Bristol Rovers joy, frustration and an unfair reputation

Aaron Collins may have reached double figures for the season after just 18 league games but the Bristol Rovers sharp-shooter is a frustrated man.

Collins hit 10 for the season on Saturday against Fleetwood Town, and added another assist to reach seven in that statistical category, giving him a goal contribution every 93 minutes for the Gas this term. For reference, he finished with one every 177 minutes in League Two, and is just one behind his total figure for 2021/22 (16 goals and two assists), and it had taken him 35 league appearances to get to 10 goals last term.

The Welshman’s progress is there for all to see but the 25-year-old has two nagging concerns about his game: firstly, his efficiency at executing one-on-one situations - having spurned two against Fleetwood - and secondly, the apparent reputation he may have attracted with EFL officials.
