I’m still euphoric from the performance and result at Hartlepool yesterday.
“And gentlemen in Bristol now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here…”, etc.
How rare is it for Rovers to win 3:0 away from home? It was only the sixth such scoreline in fifteen years.
With Morecambe on the horizon, I hesitate to write this; but on every one of those previous five occasions, Rovers followed up with another win!
The most recent 0:3 win - at Kidderminster on Easter Monday - is still fresh in the memory. Harrison (2) and Taylor scored. Then Rovers beat Southport 2:0 at the Memorial Stadium five days later.
At Fleetwood in January 2013, Woodards, Richards and O’Toole started the momentum that carried over into the next game at the New York Stadium, Rotherham, when Rovers also scored three, but conceded a single late consolation goal.
Jeff Hughes scored all three at Dagenham and Redbridge in September 2010, before Rovers went on to record a 2:1 victory at home to Notts County in the next game.
In March of the same year, Kuffour (with two) and Heffernan were the scorers at Yeovil Town. Next up were Southend, whom Rovers beat 4:3 at the Mem.
Finally, for £8.95 you can still get the “8-0” DVD, featuring Rickie Lambert’s hat-trick at Hereford and, for the encore, the 0:5 at Walsall.
