Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore believes Bristol Rovers “ran out of steam and ideas” in the latter stages of the second half of their 2-1 defeat at the Mem as his Owls team dug in to claim what could prove a vital three points in their promotion battle.
Wednesday took a 2-0 first-half lead against the run of play in north Bristol but the Gas emerged in the second 45 minutes with renewed vigour and Aaron Collins’ 46th-minute goal changed the complexion of the match and reignited the atmosphere in BS7.
With the pressure on the Owls, locked in a three-way fight for two automatic promotion spots alongside Ipswich Town and Plymouth Argyle, and a vociferous Mem growing in volume, Moore’s side threatened to buckle.
