Bristol Rovers are "far from safe" in League Two despite recording back-to-back wins for the first time since September, said manager Steve Evans. The Gas backed up a 3-0 victory against fellow strugglers Newport County 3-0 last weekend with a 2-0 win against Walsall on Tuesday to move seven points clear of the drop zone. Evans, who was appointed on 16 December, said the mood among fans had become more positive in recent weeks but he urged some restraint. "My cautionary note to supporters is we're far from safe, we're far from out of the danger zone," Evans told BBC Radio Bristol. Evans described Rovers' transfer window as "really good at both ends of the pitch" despite making bids for another striker and midfielder which were not accepted and pulling out of a deal for a goalkeeper.
