Calum Macdonald has only been a Bristol Rovers player for three weeks, joining the club amid a downturn in results, but the new Gas left-back is confident he’s joined a united squad focused on turning their form around under Joey Barton.
Macdonald made his debut for the Gas on Saturday, playing 61 minutes at left-back as they were beaten 2-1 by Burton Albion in a demoralising defeat that was their fifth in their last six League One games, a run that has seen them fall from eighth to 15th in the table.
Confidence levels appear at a low ebb for the first time in more than 12 months of Barton’s tenure in north Bristol as Rovers have grown accustomed to winning with a constant sense of forward momentum.
