The impossible looks possible as Bristol Rovers continued their charge up the table. Another double header brought maximum points as the Gas stormed towards the League Two summit.
Rovers started the week knowing that a victory over Colchester would see them into the play-offs for the first time this season. With the teams directly above us playing each other, three points was required to lift us into the top seven. It was never going to be easy though, against a side that held a previously ill-disciplined version of Rovers earlier in the season.
Colchester surprised Rovers a little. They had a clear game plan and stuck to it well. The visitors were measured in their pressing; choosing the right times to close down Rovers players and lured us into making mistakes by forcing us to move the ball quicker.
