Overview
- Rovers followed a 3-0 win over Newport with a 2-0 victory against Walsall to reach 19th in League Two, seven points above the relegation zone.
- Tottenham loanee Yusuf Akhamrich opened the scoring on Tuesday and Kofi Balmer added a volleyed second, with Akhamrich now on three goals in two games.
- Evans reiterated that the club remains in a relegation fight and said they cannot take safety for granted until it is secured mathematically.
- The chairman has given Evans permission to explore a couple of free‑agent targets, while Callum Morton is unlikely to be retained.
- Striker depth has been boosted by Deadline Day signing Joe Quigley and the return to full training of Promise Omochere, joining Ellis Harrison, Fabrizio Cavegn and Mees Rijks, with Chesterfield visiting next as Rovers seek a third straight home league win.
