When Elliot Anderson signed for Bristol Rovers, Connor Taylor knew a fine talent was headed to BS7. The pair had faced on in youth football for Newcastle United and Stoke City respectively, and Anderson was "the player" pre-match preparation focused on.
The same is becoming true at the senior level, with Anderson turning in a stellar run of performances for Joey Barton's Gas, playing his part in a surge into promotion contention.
The 19-year-old has scored sublime goals in successive games to help Rovers into the League Two play-off places and Taylor is not in the least bit surprised that his fellow loan star is making such a significant impact in the blue and white quarters.
