Match25 Jan 2027

Bristol Rovers are top

59 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Match23 Jan 2027

Nobody wants to play Bristol Rovers right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Market25 Jan 2027

Luke Thomas hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bristol Rovers can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Kieran Green goes up and wins it — 7.76

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.76 for the rest of it.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Medical ends the Dillon Phillips deal

Everything was agreed with Hull City and then the doctor spoke. Bristol Rovers have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

No deal for Will Mannion at that price

Bristol Rovers offered $990.0K; Charlton Athletic said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

An offer of $17.0K for Andy Cook

Bristol Rovers have gone to Bradford City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Bristol Rovers rebuffed over James Tarkowski

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Everton have kept their man, and Bristol Rovers go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Lucas Siqueira in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bristol Rovers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Both of them Myles Hippolyte's — 8.15

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.15, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Joshua Duffus, 21, steals the show — 8.30

Marked 8.30 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match24 Oct 2026

Nobody wants to play Bristol Rovers right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Bristol Rovers

Thierry Small was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match24 Oct 2026

Myles Hippolyte the difference as Bristol Rovers beat Salford City

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Myles Hippolyte. 3‑1 against Salford City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces26 Oct 2026

The crowd has taken to Malcolm Ebiowei

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Thierry Small

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match24 Oct 2026

Bristol Rovers settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Salford City spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Luke Brown, on a 3‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Jed Ward wins the shoot-out

2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Match19 Sep 2026

Bristol Rovers march on in the cup

Gillingham are out and Bristol Rovers go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match16 Sep 2026

Bristol Rovers through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Gillingham, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match19 Sep 2026

Whatever happens, Bristol Rovers do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Luke Thomas beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match19 Sep 2026

Soufiane Hetli at the heart of a fast Bristol Rovers start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Soufiane Hetli in the middle of it, and Gillingham unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ellis Harrison fails from the spot

Twelve yards and the whole ground holding its breath, and it did not go in. He will put his name down for the next one, which is the only thing to do.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Bristol Rovers

Jens Hjertø-Dahl and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Soufiane Hetli

7.84, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Bristol Rovers had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
