Joey Barton admits he was "concerned" by Bristol Rovers' second-half performance despite beating Cheltenham Town on New Year's Day, saying the Gas have "a lot of work to do" to address their flaws.
The Gas bounced back from successive League One defeats with a 2-1 victory over the Robins at the Mem, with goals from the outstanding Aaron Collins and the impressive Josh Coburn putting Rovers in command at the break.
But an uncharacteristic and bizarre error from James Connolly – described by Barton as a "brain fart" – upset the balance of the game, with Alfie May profiting to pull one back before he Gas were left scrapping to claw their way over the line.
