Goal hero Callum Camps describes the free-kick he'd been waiting for with Fleetwood Town

There was a choice to be made as to which of his two goals on Saturday was the better – the dipping, swirling free-kick from distance that found the top corner or the delicate chip from the left edge of the box that left the keeper flailing.

Strikers Paddy Madden and Ched Evans, who scored a penalty, also found the net as Town put on a show on the road.

Camps admitted he’d been waiting for a chance to unleash such a 30-yard screamer from a dead-ball situation, but one hadn’t quite lined up right for him until Saturday.

And with specialists like Charlie Mulgrew, Danny Andrew and Josh Morris also in the squad, goalkeepers have their work cut out against the Cod Army.

Camps said: “We keep saying every game that I like to fancy myself with the free-kicks that are a bit further out.

“There were a couple of earlier ones but they were on my wrong side, so when that third one came along I knew it was one that I had to hit and it went in. Charlie Mulgrew just backed me and said to hit it.

“Sometimes you can put the ball in (the box) and they can counter-attack, so even if the ball goes over (when you shoot) it’s nothing bad against your team. Luckily the one I hit went in.”

It was an excellent display from Joey Barton’s men at the Memorial Stadium, lifting them to eighth ahead of last night’s Plymouth v Portsmouth game and just two points outside the play-off places.

Bristol felt like a home away from home for Town as conditions were difficult but not unlike the renowned wind machine at Highbury.

Camps’ second strike saw off a resurgent Rovers side that had hit back to make it 2-1 in the second half.

He added: “We were saying before the game that we just wanted to get a good away performance and come away with the three points, but I suppose that’s the same for every game.

“The way we started, the way Paddy (Madden) and everybody pressed really set the tone for the game, then we got the goals and the three points.

“Bristol got the goal in the second half and had the weather. It was what they had faced in the first half but we realised how bad it was.

“They got their tails up after the goal. We just needed that third goal to settle us and luckily it did.”
