Bristol Rovers are represented in the latest Football League team of the week that has been selected after the Boxing Day festive action.
The performance by Billy Bodin in the four one victory over Coventry City on Monday at the Memorial Stadium was enough to earn them a place in the side alongside the other most impressive performers in the Football League pyramid.
I think we’ll already know ourselves, and not just based on the latest performance, why Bodin was selected as part of the team but explaining the choice – the FL blurb read.
‘The EFL Star of Boxing Day was Bodin, who helped himself to his first career hat-trick in a comfortable win over Coventry City. His wand of a left foot created the opener, before firing in two super strikes and a late penalty in the 4-1 rout.’
It’s always good to see the club represented in this way, and well played to Bodin for his recognition, but the most important thing about the weekend was of course the three points.
Full Team:
Adam Davies (Barnsley), Scott Laird (Walsall), David Wheater (Bolton Wanderers), Jacob Bedeau (Bury), Luke Ayling (Leeds United), Billy Bodin (Bristol Rovers), Sam Hutchinson (Sheffield Wednesday), Gavin Massey (Leyton Orient), Simon Cox (Southend United), Ian Henderson (Rochdale), Lee Gregory (Millwall).
Manager – Paul Cook (Portsmouth).
