Bristol Rovers are playing midweek football against Port Vale once more this evening. The team is swiftly approaching double digits of League One matches played.
Playing three days after losing 2-0 at Peterborough United on Saturday is the ideal chance for the Gas to get back on track following their earlier impressive performance.
After winning back-to-back games against Shrewsbury Town and Wigan Athletic to earn seven points from the three games before, the loss in Cambridgeshire brought an end to the team’s one-month unbeaten streak in the league.
Nonetheless, the visitors had brilliant moments against the Posh, with bad luck befalling Joey Barton’s team.
A win over Port Vale would give them a respectable return of 10 points from a possible 15 in their previous five games.
But the Rovers manager’s post-match criticism of Luke Thomas will also live on, as Barton became enraged that the winger failed to declare a hamstring injury at halftime.
The Gas lost the game two minutes into the second half, and Thomas was substituted shortly after.
