Steve Evans Warns Bristol Rovers: “We’re Far From Safe” Despite Back-to-Back Wins
Relief is growing at Bristol Rovers, but manager Steve Evans is making one thing absolutely clear, this fight is far from over.
After securing two straight league wins for the first time in months, Rovers have finally created breathing room in League Two. A confident victory over Newport County was followed by another solid performance against Walsall, pushing the club seven points clear of the relegation zone. For supporters who have endured a turbulent season, it feels like momentum is finally shifting.
But Evans is not celebrating yet.
Since taking charge in mid-December, he has focused on stability, discipline and reshaping the squad. And while results are improving, he insists survival is the only objective that matters right now. In his view, until the club is mathematically safe, nothing can be taken for granted. League Two is unpredictable and a short run of poor form can drag any team back into danger.

The January transfer window reflected that urgency. Bristol Rovers were busy. Several players came in, several moved out and the squad now looks deeper, especially in attacking areas. New signings have strengthened competition up front and that internal battle for starting spots could prove crucial in the final stretch of the season.
One major boost could soon come from the return of striker Promise Omochere, who has been sidelined for months through injury. Evans believes the forward has real quality, but he also made it clear that returning players must earn their place. With multiple attackers currently performing well, no shirt is guaranteed.
There is also uncertainty surrounding Callum Morton’s future. While Evans values him, he suggested it may be unlikely the striker remains part of the long-term plan. The message is consistent, the squad must be balanced, competitive and fully aligned with the club’s survival mission.
This moment matters because relegation from the English Football League carries serious financial and sporting consequences. Dropping out would impact revenue, recruitment power and the club’s long-term stability. Staying up is not just about pride, it is about protecting the future of Bristol Rovers.
The immediate focus now turns to their upcoming home fixture, where a third straight win would send an even stronger message that the Gas are turning a corner. But as Evans keeps reminding everyone, progress is not security.
The race to stay in League Two is still alive and every point counts. Stay with us for continuing coverage as Bristol Rovers fight to secure their future in the English Football League.
