Joey Barton's 'spin of the wheel' can be his missing X-factor for Bristol Rovers

Sylvester Jasper is full of confidence that he can make a positive impact at Bristol Rovers when manager Joey Barton gives him a starting chance. The winger, on loan from Fulham, has shown glimpses of his ability in cameos off the bench but he is craving an opportunity to impress from the start.

Rovers need a spark after a seven-game winless run and Jasper could be the man to provide it. The 21-year-old is a tricky dribbler and with a playing style unlike any other at the manager's disposal and is in contention to make his first start for the Gas against Exeter City on Saturday.

Should he get the opportunity, it is clear the former Colchester and Hibernian winger is not short of belief in himself. Jasper, who has made four substitute appearances for Rovers, feels his specific skillset can be an asset to the team.
