Here we take a look at some of the social media reaction from Rovers supporters to the performance.

@JohnLeslieCoyl1: I think the red card- which was correct- turned the game in our favour. Great to see Andy Butler again. An important three points gained even if it wasn't a sparkling performance.

@pgjackson1: Baffled by the first 11, poor pitch, definite red card, excellent finish for the goal. Not easy on the eye to watch but a deserved win overall.

@glosterred: A professional performance, they did what they needed to do to win.

@PJohnsonBet: Poor pitch, professional job when they went down to 10 men.

@Matt_Walker96: Very dull. Job done getting the points but hopefully don’t carry on like this

@Gazz_Plods: Boring.

@doncasterman: Red card papering over the cracks

@neilmarshall67: Cruised to victory. Young Gooner is a class act and if we can keep him fit and feed him it’s playoffs all the way

@davecorby2: It was boring to much passing backwards and sideways, I know they do it to drag the opposition out but there was no one anywhere near them and the ploy did not work

@J_BELLAMY_19: I will admit I was hesitant when the team news came out but I thought

@butler__andy was superb today. Won headers and looked to give us some extra stability and leadership

@NickVuckovic83: Big win, important 3 points and a clean sheet

@gmbell32: How good was @butler__andy today by the way?! Calming influence at the back can go a long way.
