Manager Steve Evans Warns: Bristol Rovers ‘Far from Safe’
Manager Steve Evans has issued a stern warning about Bristol Rovers’ current position in the league. He emphasized that the team is “far from safe” as they navigate the challenges of the season.
Striker’s Injury Update
Evans provided an update on striker Promise Omochere, who has been sidelined due to injuries. The 25-year-old has struggled to find consistent match time since September, making just nine appearances and scoring once. His last appearance was during a defeat to Crawley Town on October 25.
Competition for Starting Position
Omochere faces stiff competition to regain his place in the starting lineup. Evans noted the strong performances of several players, including:
- Ellis Harrison
- Fabrizio Cavegn
- Mees Rijks
- New signing Joe Quigley
Evans remarked on Omochere’s potential impact, recalling his good performances against his former club, Fleetwood Town. He highlighted that many clubs were interested in signing Omochere, and Bristol Rovers successfully secured him for a notable fee.
Return to Training
Omochere has recently returned to training and is performing well. Evans expressed optimism about his recovery, stating that Omochere needs a few more training sessions to enhance his fitness. The manager remains excited about the contributions Omochere can make to the team.
With a deep roster and emerging talent, Bristol Rovers must navigate their upcoming fixtures carefully. As the pressure mounts, every player will need to contend for their spot to ensure the team’s safety in the league.
