With seven games to play, Bristol Rovers have dragged themselves into the League Two promotion mix.
Saturday’s close-fought defeat at Carlisle United stunted some of the momentum Joey Barton’s side has garnered in recent weeks and months, but confidence remains that the Gas will carry their upturn in form right through to the end of the season.
The league title aside, all outcomes are realistically in play for the Gas in the last six weeks of the season, meaning their fortunes will largely be defined by their returns against their final seven opponents. Barton’s side will cross paths with promotion and relegation contenders and teams in between.
