Usually, fans bemoan a goalless draw, but after a pair of them in the past three games at the Mem, Bristol Rovers fans have what they were waiting for.
The Gas made it back-to-back clean sheets in League One with a hard-fought stalemate with Barnsley in BS7, in which Rovers both tested and handled the third tier's in-form side that had won four straight coming in. All season, a porous defence has hampered Joey Barton's side, but after a dismal run of form, they have emerged more solid than ever.
The attacking threat of the team has been compromised somewhat as a result, but Gasheads will feel the ship has been steadied after a seven-game winless run was ended at Oxford last week, with a back four and goalkeeper that are inspiring a level of confidence that has not been felt since the Gas made their return to League One.
