Good win for the lads this afternoon and a decent turnout made for a good day to be a Rovers supporter. We are now only 1 point off Scunthorpe in 6th place.
There's no room for error now, like Ronnie says, and I thought the lads worked hard today. The first half was tough. Bristol Rovers passed it about, but they had little effect up front.
Good work from the back four again, that's now three cleans sheets in a row and you can't ask for more than that! Edds, who's always been a decent right back filled in well for the suspended Shotton and Creswell continues to impress on the left. Goodison and Chorley were again solid and kept Bristol Rovers' chances down to a minimum.
Barnett had another good game as did Jennings and Kay in the centre. Sonko for all his bad points, did work hard today and caused a few problems. Really should have tucked it away in the second half when he had a glorious chance from a few yards out.
Should we have been awarded a penalty in the first half? I certainly think so. Their defender handballed in the penalty area only for it to be judged outside the box. The resulting free-kick ended up going in so there weren't many complaints.
Big game next week at Walsall. Need an Oldham-esque performance there as we could easily slip up, but I'm sure the SWA will be there in numbers to support the lads.
