Bristol Rovers first-team coach Andy Mangan believes the signing of Ellery Balcombe on loan from Brentford will make a positive difference, regardless of who is playing between the posts.
The 23-year-old, who spent the first half of the season on loan in League Two with Crawley Town before being recalled, has joined the Gas for the rest of the 2022/23 campaign, with Joey Barton eager to tighten up Rovers' leaky defence.
With 45 goals conceded in 27 games so far, it is obvious where the ninth-placed Gas need to improve the most as they target a run at the play-off places with 19 games remaining.
