Rovers slumped out of League One last season and struggled to get going in their first two league games this term.
But performances have improved and back-to-back wins have brought back positivity about on-field matters.

“It’s a different group,” he told The Star.
“There’s been a lot of changes.
“We tried to iron out our deficiencies from the first game. There was certain things I wasn’t happy with, especially when the ball was lost and team counterattacked us too easily.
“We had to get the balance right.
“I think since then we’ve been pretty solid.
“I wasn’t overly concerned. What we needed to do was get the win and build confidence from that.
“What I’m pleased with is the gradual improvement.
“And I know there is more improvement in the team.
“We’ve managed to get a couple of wins on the Baird and if we beat Yeovil on Saturday, it’s a really solid start.
“It’s two points per game and that’s promotion form.
“I’d be delighted with another win.”
