Bristol Rovers display hunter's mentality as James Connolly shows value to Joey Barton's system

Just three points is the deficit to the League Two play-offs as Bristol Rovers' surge continued at Leyton Orient on Tuesday night, and another vital box was ticked off in their development.

Without being at their best, particularly in the second half, the Gas managed to make the most of their moments of quality as Antony Evans and Aaron Collins struck with a quickfire double in the space of three minutes after the half hour in the capital.

The sense of belief exuding from the away section was palpable at Brisbane Road, with Gasheads starting to dream of the possibilities with 15 games to go. This was a night where Joey Barton's Rovers showed just how far they have come from the depths of despair the last time the two sides met and on the current trajectory, their climb up the League Two table is nowhere near finished.
