Joey Barton believes Bristol Rovers could have made easier work of their victory at Crawley Town on Tuesday evening, but those minor complaints will drift into irrelevance after his side closed to within two points of the League Two play-offs.
The Gas remain ninth, but their 2-1 win at Broadfield Stadium reeled in the sides above them, with the automatic promotion places just three points away.
Harry Anderson and Aaron Collins scored the goals in Sussex, but Jake Hessenthaler pulled one back with 21 minutes to play and the Gas had to withstand intense pressure in the closings stages.
