Bristol Rovers moved within touching distance of the play-offs with two wins from two last week. Crawley were defeated, Harrogate were eased passed and the Gas’ destiny is now in their own hands.
Crawley was simply a game we needed to win to regain momentum. A bounce back was vital to put the wind back in our sails ahead of our promotion push. Rovers did just that, and whilst it wasn’t easy in the end, not a Gashead in the land will be bothered with how the points were recorded.
The performance was much improved from what we saw at Newport. Rovers moved the ball better, played with freedom and positivity and better individual performances too. Aaron Collins was lively, finding spaces in between the lines and interchanging well with his forward colleagues. His control and finish was instinctive and Luca Hoole’s crossfield ball was a beauty.
