Bristol Rovers got back on track with a dominant performance against Bradford. In typical Gas fashion, they left themselves all to do, but Rovers are back and in some style too.
By the time Bradford came along, a week had passed since Carlisle, which felt more like a month. After the disappointment of losing, there’s nothing you want more as a fan than an opportunity to bounce back straight away. For the players and the manager though, rest and time on the grass was just what the doctor ordered.
Another sell-out crowd and another cracking atmosphere awaited on Saturday. Probably the two biggest clubs in the division going head to head in front of a full house at The Mem is a mouth-watering proposition. Add a touch of spice through Joey Barton’s past relationship with the opposition manager, plus a good serving of context with the meaning of three points here for Rovers, and you have a real recipe for entertainment.
