    O'Toole says scoring 13 goals this season has eased his frustration over the club's inconsistent form. The Pirates are 19th in League Two, only five points above the drop zone. The 25 year old who joined Rovers on a three year deal from Colchester in the summer.

    O'Toole said:
    "If I hadn't had scored my 13, I'd probably be here scratching my head. I'd be even more frustrated if I hadn't had scored so many."


    O'Toole, who is Rovers' top scorer this term, fell out of favour at League One Colchester last season and arrived at the Memorial Stadium on loan in January. He impressed in his 18 games and earned a permanent deal under boss John Ward, who previously managed the midfielder at the U's. However, O'Toole admitted that when he signed for Rovers, he expected them to be challenging for promotion this term.

    O'Toole said:
    "When I joined I would have hoped to have been in a higher position than we are at the moment. I wouldn't have signed otherwise. It's been nice playing, but it's been frustrating as we haven't been doing that well. We've got a good squad here, I just think we're all under performing a little bit. We need to get up the table."


    Six years ago, O'Toole was playing in the Championship with Watford, where he started his career, and scored 12 goals in 66 games across two seasons, and he believes he has what it takes to return to that level.

    O'Toole said:
    "No disrespect to League Two, but I don't want to play here. I want to play higher and do the best I can in my career. But it's not worth getting wound up about. I've just got to look after myself. If it happens, then great. If not, I'm not bothered. No one owes me anything in football and I don't owe anyone anything. I just want to play as well as I can and do as well for the team as I can. But hopefully one day I'll play at that level again and I'm more than confident I can do it."


    Bristol Rovers take on Burton on Friday night, looking for their first back-to-back league wins since August. And are being embroiled in a tight relegation battle in League Two.

    O'Toole added:
    "I'm not worried about getting relegated. If we get relegated, we should all hang up our boots. It just shouldn't happen."

    listening to this interview, i get the impression he came to rovers in the agreement that if we dont get promotion this season then he will be off in the summer as he did not want to play league 2 level. he has scored enough goals to put himself in the window for a transfer in the summer so i wont be surprised if he does leave in the summer. i hope we get a good deal out of if as 2 years left on his contract and he is our top scorer and we all know he has the ability to play at a higher level, there is no risk to the other club if he could step up or not!

    He's not gay is he? If so he really should be playing for C*ty. They're the biggest bunch of gayers in the West!
