It is not unusual for loan players to fill big roles in Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers, but the Gas manager is convinced of the "enormous potential" of the latest pair to shine in the blue and white quarters.
January signings Jarell Quansah and Lamare Bogarde, highly rated prospects at Liverpool and Aston Villa respectively, endured a chastening introduction to life with Rovers, joining a team out of form and low on confidence, but they have impressed in the face of adversity.
Centre-back Quansah, aged 20, has caught the eye in the heart of an improving defence that has kept three clean sheets in the past four games, while 19-year-old Dutchman Bogarde has shown he can handle himself in the midfield battle with a blend of elegance and steel.
