The next hurdle in Bristol Rovers’ race for promotion comes at Brunton Park on Saturday, when Joey Barton’s Gas take in a resurgent Carlisle United.
Paul Simpson's return to manage his hometown club has transformed the Cumbrians' fortunes, but Rovers are playing with a total absence of fear as they close in on League Two's top three.
The Gas are in fine form, winning four on the bounce, and Barton's options have been boosted with Elliot Anderson not joining up with Scotland under-21s, while two players are back in contention after injury.
