'You’d be a fool to bet against us' – Joey Barton on the momentum powering Bristol Rovers

Joey Barton said it would take a fool to bet against Bristol Rovers after they kept up their fine form with a 3-0 win over Harrogate Town at the Mem on Saturday.

Aaron Collins bagged a brilliant brace and Elliot Anderson scored a memorable solo goal as the Gas moved to eighth in League Two, level on points with the play-off places.

Rovers are in fine fettle with 10 wins from 16 games, but they started poorly on Saturday until Collins' pinpoint finish from 25-yards 12 minutes before the break transformed the mood in BS7. Anderson responded by weaving beyond several challenges and sliding beyond Mark Oxley to double the lead before the break and Collins added a third 10 minutes into the second half with an audacious lob over the floored Oxley.
