Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton said:

"I’m so pleased for our players and fans and our younger and newer players to see how passionate our fans are. They turned up and took their allocation today and supported the team right through the game and now they know what it’s like to win in a quartered jersey.

"Nothing you can give them or buy replaces that feeling, so it’s an important moment for us to get back looking up the table and the most important thing is a solid defensive showing and a clean sheet to go with the three goals."
