By all measures, 2022 was not too shabby for the Gas. In fact, it will go down as one of the most memorable in the club's history with Rochdale, Scunthorpe, Gloucester Road and all that.
With-back to-back wins, the early indications are it is not impossible 2023 has some similar drama in store for Gasheads, who travelled in good numbers again on Saturday and met a gritty 2-1 win over Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium with calls of "Up the Football League we go" after the final whistle.
Now, we mustn't get carried away. Rovers remain very much in the "dark horses" category despite their fine form over the past three months. They are up to eighth in the League One table, albeit many of their rivals jostling for position in and around the top six have games in hand.
