Bristol Rovers adding strings to their bow with more to come from Joey Barton and his players

Bristol Rovers retained their momentum last week with four points from six in the bag. Leyton Orient were dispatched, Exeter City were held and the Gas’ good form continued.

The Rovers train rolled into the capital on Tuesday having built up a head of steam in Stevenage. And they ensured their stay in East London was all but a brief stop en route towards the top seven. This time, 880 passengers were on board and there was no stopping their party. Gasheads were in fine voice, Rovers were in fine form and their destination is starting to resemble the play-offs.

You only have to look at the attendance to see that something is building at Rovers. Although Wael Al-Qadi generously laid on free coaches, it was amazing to see such strong support and the noise we created was incredible. Gasheads sang from first to last and were rewarded with three valuable points.
