FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Sam finley explains why bristol rovers will not get carried away in promotion push | History Defined

Sam Finley believes Bristol Rovers have all the intangibles in place to maintain their promotion push right through to the end of the campaign.

The all-action midfielder is enjoying a fine season in the blue and white quarters, helping to drive standards while the Gas have soared to fourth place thanks to a remarkable run of form since the start of 2022. No team in the EFL or Premier League has won more games than Rovers since the turn of the year, and their record of 10 clean sheets is better than any other side in the top four divisions in that time.

Saturday's 1-0 victory at Northampton Town, a near-perfect away performance against a promotion rival, is evidence of the maturation of Joey Barton's young side, with experienced heads Finley, Paul Coutts, Glenn Whelan and Leon Clarke aiding the development of their junior.
