Last time on their travels in League One, it was Bristol Rovers flying out of the blocks and doing the early damage en route to victory.
But Joey Barton’s Gas were on the receiving end of that treatment at Barnsley on Tuesday night.
As kick-off neared, the clouds rolled in and the deluge began. The Gas had to weather a storm on the pitch, too, but their resistance lasted just three minutes until Devante Cole scored from an improbable angle. Number two arrived 10 minutes later thanks to a huge deflection on Jordan Williams’ long-range shot and a Rovers’ side that has made comebacks something of a forte in 2022 never looked like getting back on the game.
