John Ward delighted with Bristol Rovers players

Bristol Rovers manager John Ward has said that the attitude of his team over the last 11 games has been "spot on".

The Gas secured a 2-0 win against Portsmouth on Saturday and Ward feels that his players were worthy winners.

"The attitude of the team - we've talked about it over the last ten/eleven games - has been absolutely spot on," he told BBC Sport.

"I think Portsmouth started very well and we had to stand up to that. The first goal was at a really good time for us because it settled things down.

"The second half I thought we were quite commanding on the front foot and very positive."

Ward's side are 18th in League Two.
