In the aftermath of Saturday's 2-2 draw between Bristol Rovers and his Fleetwood Town, Scott Brown repeated the assertion of one of his contemporaries. Fleetwood had weathered a second-half storm and pulled a 99th-minute equaliser out of the fire to rescue a point at the Mem.
But it was a chastening experience for Brown's players, who seemed overwhelmed after the break. In the first half, the atmosphere was subdued as Fleetwood took the lead and Joey Barton's side failed to find a rhythm, but after the break, the Gas and the Gasheads were playing in unison.
With Rovers still trailing and chances going begging in front of a throbbing Thatchers Terrace, the volume rose and the pressure started to pay. A back three that was assured early doors was shoved onto the ropes and they were struggling to hold on.
