Rovers manager Paul Trollope has been impressed with new loan signing from Bristol City John Akinde but says there is still more to come from the forward.
Akinde has yet to score for Rovers in his three games so far but had a hand in two of the goal scored by Jeff Hughes in Saturdays 3-0 win over Dagenham.
‘John is proving to be a real handful for opposition defenders with his pace and power,’ said Trollope to TIB
‘He’s still working hard to get up to full match speed, he’s applied himself very well in training and he’s popular in the group. He’s fantastic for us off the pitch, as well as on it, and we expect more from him.
‘We think that there is still more to come from him. His impact over the last three games has been good but if we can continue to work with him and an understanding grows within the team, we think he can get better.’
Akinde had a successful loan spell at League Two side Wycombe, 6’1′ striker scored 7 goals in 11 appearances whilst on loan.
