Joey Barton insists his Bristol Rovers players have "nothing to fear" as promotion-chasing Sheffield Wednesday visit the Mem on Tuesday, with all the pressure on Darren Moore's side.
Barton's Gas hope to finish the season strongly after rediscovering their form in recent weeks, taking seven points from their past three games. They were highly impressive in Saturday's last-gasp draw with Derby County in BS7, dominating possession and forcing a Rams team pursuing a play-off place onto the back foot for long periods before Antony Evans' stoppage-time equaliser.
The Rovers manager is pleased with the frame of mind his team is in, although the competitor in him regrets a mid-season blip that scuppered any chance of a run at the top six in the final games of the campaign. But looking ahead to next season, he welcomes the challenge of taking on another of the league's elite teams.
