It obviously wasn’t in the moment, given the intensity and hard work required to score four goals inside 45 first-half minutes, but Bristol Rovers probably won’t enjoy many more comfortable away days than what transpired at Cheltenham Town.
Through a combination of the Gas’ pressing, the finishing prowess of Aaron Collins and some schoolboy defending on the part of the hosts, the Gas effectively killed the contest off at the halfway stage.
It led to a strange atmosphere in the second half with the home fans almost remaining out of obligation rather than desire, while the 1,400 Gasheads could kick back and enjoy their day out in Gloucestershire, safe in the knowledge the three points were in the bag.
