Bristol Rovers are in fine form after three straight League One wins, but the coming weeks will truly "show what they are made of". That is the view of ITV's EFL pundit Sam Parkin.
The former Swindon Town striker has been impressed by the upturn in form for Joey Barton's side, with Aaron Collins catching the eye as he took his goal tally for the season to eight in Saturday's 4-1 rout of Cheltenham Town. Collins fired a first-half brace at Whaddon Road as the Gas surged into a 4-0 lead at the interval.
The 25-year-old leads the league for goal involvements excluding penalties, continuing his fine form in Rovers' promotion last season, prompting calls for him to be considered for Wales' World Cup squad. Parkin believes the former Forest Green Rovers striker is a real asset for Barton, offering a dynamic threat in multiple positions.
