“I am really happy here. I want to see the season out here. Obviously that’s out of my hands to a certain extent but I have been made to feel really at home here. I’m really happy and I am enjoying my football, I enjoy playing with the boys, it’s a really good group. The gaffer demands a lot but I feel that I am improving under him as well, so I don’t want to change anything.”

Bristol Rovers loanee Isaac Hutchinson has declared he wants to stay at Cheltenham Town

Forest Green Rovers are thought to be close to agreeing a deal for Merthyr Town striker Ricardo Rees.

Bristol Rovers are also thought to be keen on the forward, with a decision expected to be made on January 1.

“But, you know, at the end of the day, we've always said, if you look at our squad on paper, this is a good squad, but paper's never won a football match and it's life. And it may be too many people think that I'm a good player on paper, but if they're a good player on paper and they do it on the pitch, and people will pick up the phone - my phone's not rung once about a player coming in.

“I've rung plenty of phones about players to come into the football club, but I've not had one phone call. Ricky Martin may have different phone calls about players going out in terms of people picking up the phone. But I think it's highly unusual. Every club I've been at, people pick up the phone up at a certain place. Maybe a level below, pick the phone up. We're not seeing that.”

Bristol Rovers suffered their 30th league defeat of 2025 on Monday night, losing 2-0 at home to Barnet, which meant they ended the year only a point above the bottom of League Two. It was also a seventh consecutive home league defeat for the Gas - an unwanted club record.

By the time Rovers play their next game against Shrewsbury Town, the January transfer window will be open. Steve Evans said that he would give players opportunities to prove themselves when he arrived before deciding on how many changes to make in the market.

With one point from his first three games, and the team still sorely lacking in confidence, the 63-year-old will clearly not hesitate to make swift additions, and with the club destined for non-league on its current trajectory, they are certainly needed.

This verdict will be a slightly different one, with a lot of quotes from Evans, who spoke about a range of important topics in last night’s press conference. Among the issues discussed were the lack of physicality in the squad, the latest on the five loanees at the club and the future of Shaq Forde.

Here are the main talking points from the defeat against Barnet, as a miserable 2025 comes to an end…

Here are the main talking points from Bristol Rovers' 2-0 defeat against Barnet, as the Gas lose their 30th league game in 2025

Luke Southwood 'remains a standout player in a team spiralling down the table'

Bristol Rovers lost 2-0 against Barnet in Steve Evans' third game as head coach - here's how we rated the players

30/12/2025

This year has been a dismal one for Rovers, with 30 losses in 47 league games.

Steve Evans said: "So we will fix this in the January window for sure. We will win football matches going forward. 2025 has been a terrible year for every Gas fan. 2026 will be a lot better.”

Speaking about the 2-0 defeat against Barnet, Steve Evans said: “Yeah, I think in summary, that we never get anywhere near the levels that we did for 53, 54 minutes on Boxing Day. You know, there's a little change of personnel where we tweaked things a little bit, but I think up until the goal, there's very little in the first half. If you break down the first half, we get into some really good areas, not taking advantage of it. We've slipped, or we've mistimed a shot or whatever.

"Barnet have not done anything that's really given us any cause for concern. And then simply, we've got a set play getting into their box - within 10 seconds, we're defending a set play in our box. And then we don't win the first or second headers, and in League Two and One, you have to win the physical battle. You have to clear your boxes and we never did that.
