Bristol Rovers rival updates: Leyton Orient suffer transfer blow and 105-goal club legend sheds reacts to exit talk
Bristol Rovers have enjoyed a steady turnaround of Inigo Calderon and back to back victories over Huddersfield and Bolton Wanderers now have fans looking up the table rather than over their shoulder.
However, the Gas are still eight points off the magic 50 point mark associated with survival and will be keen to ensure that they finish the season on a high to avoid being dragged back into any relegation trouble.

"For me it's really important that we don't think it's done, because it isn't done.We haven't finished anything yet, we are still there, obviously better than one week ago but it could be a big, big mistake if we think we are safe already because we are not."
As Bristol Rovers fans look ahead to games against Crawley Town and Mansfield, we take a look at the latest League One headlines and a key update regarding the Paul Mullin saga at Wrexham.
Leyton Orient suffer transfer blow

The family's good, healthy, well, so yeah, it's all good,” said Cogley, who celebrated his birthday yesterday (Wednesday). “I'm delighted to be here. I think the club's got great aspirations and I like the direction they're moving in. I want to be a part of that, so that was kind of my decision to sign that extension and try and go with it. It's been really enjoyable to play in recently. I feel like I've got my form back and where I want to be playing and the type of football I want to be playing, so I'm really happy with how it's going.”
The decision comes as a major blow to Leyton Orient, who had been interested in the player’s services, according to journalist Alan Nixon, via his Patreon page. However, the news come as a lift to Bolton as the 29-year-old closes in on 100 appearances for the club after a strong showing this term.
105-goal club legend reacts to exit talk
Paul Mullin failed to make the squad during Wrexham’s recent top of the table clash with Wycombe Wanderers. The decision to drop one of the club’s most successful players and a striker that has scored 105 goals in total for the club only amplified speculation about the 30-year-old’s potential departure from the Racecourse Ground after dropping down the pecking order at a ground where he was once thought of as one of the first names on the teamsheet.
It marked the sixth time in seven matches since returning from a shin injury, that Mullin had been dropped from the matchday squad, leading to speculation that the Liverpudlian had fallen out with manager Phil Parkinson.

To which Mullin replied with one word: “Nonsense.”
