Bristol Rovers showed they will not simply allow their season to peter out to an unsatisfactory conclusion with a strong away performance on Saturday, blunting play-off chasing Peterborough United in a goalless draw at London Road.
The end of a gruelling yet commendable season is edging ever closer for the Gas, but they were certainly not willing to let this game pass them by despite the absence of meaningful stakes for Joey Barton and his players.
Their place in the league is assured and a midtable finish is certain, yet they matched 24-goal marksman Jonson Clarke-Harris and his Peterborough teammates despite the huge motivation powering Darren Ferguson's side. As it transpired, a win would have done Posh's play-off hopes the world of good ahead of the final day with Derby County dropping points.
