Joey Barton believes Bristol Rovers will be rewarded for their patience in the transfer market with the Gas manager optimistic there could be movement into the club this week, as his wish for wingers increases with every game.
Rovers have made six new additions to the squad so far this summer, in defence, midfield and attack and although Barton said last week he would still like six new faces, that number now appears to have been revised to five, unless there are significant outgoings.
One area of the field that appears to be an area of focus for Barton and his recruitment department is in attacking wide areas with the Gas yet to replace either Elliot Anderson, Luke Thomas or Sam Nicholson from last season, with that particular trio worth 12 goals and 15 assists in League Two.
