Rovers gained their first home win of the season on Saturday, although they left it late and it was well into stoppage time when Lewis Haldane headed home the winning goal.
Goalkeeper Steve Phillips was at a loss as to why it took his side so long to make their mark on the game.
"After two very good away performances, we were hoping to carry that on against Millwall," Steve told bristolrovers.co.uk, "But, for some reason, the first hour of the game was very similar to our last home match, against Bournemouth.
"I don't know what changed, although possibly the introduction of our substitutes did the trick, because for the last half an hour, I thought the least we deserved was a draw.
"When they scored, you could see everyone wondering if we were going to lose another home game.
"I do think we have a few problems with our pitch, because of the fact that rugby is played on it. The grass is a little bit longer, because of the rugby, and consequently you get the odd bobble, even though the pitch is in good condition. It hasn't been laid for a rugby team, it's been laid as a football pitch and to play both games on it means it's not going to be brilliant.
"To be fair though, it's not bad but when we play away from home and play on a pitch prepared specifically for football, the lads trust it and you can pass the ball, and pass it quickly.
"On our pitch it's a touch slower, and it's not that trustworthy, because there are a few bobbles due to the rugby. Maybe that's why are away form is better than our home form."
Speaking on a wet Monday morning, at a very bleak training ground, the shot-stopper again voiced his concerns over the quality of the pitches the team use to prepare for games.
"Whilst we are well looked after by the staff of the gym at our training base at Colerne, in my opinion the actual training ground is not up to the required standard and I believe that opinion is shared by the management team," said Steve.
"It's dangerous, and I don't think it will be too long before someone picks up an injury because of the number of ruts and the bobbles out there. I've had a ball hit me in the face, which wasn't very nice and was quite painful.
"If it had hit my nose, then I wouldn't be playing. The pitches haven't been cut or rolled for about three months and, to be honest, it doesn't do a lot for team morale.
"When you aren't doing very well at home, and you are going through a bit of a sticky patch and in need of a bit of a boost, I'm afraid our training ground makes things worse.
"I live in the centre of Bristol and it takes me an hour to get here and most of the lads find the travelling time to be quite onerous. When you turn up it always seems to be cold and windy, and the pitches are a disgrace. I really do find it bizarre that the club has been unable to find, or provide, better training facilities."
Rant over, Steve is upbeat ahead of Tuesday night's FA Cup first round replay against Leyton Orient.
"We go into the match on the back of our first home win against a good Leyton Orient side who are sure to give us a good game," he said, "We've already played them a couple of times, and we owe them one at home as they came back from being two goals down to win 3-2 in the league match at the Memorial Stadium in September.
"It was a game that we should have won, to be honest, so let's hope that the rain stays away and the pitch is alright. If that's the case, then we can get the ball down and pass it because we have some good players and confidence, though not quite what it was last year at the moment, is returning and Saturday's result was a boost for us all.
"What we need to do is to stop giving silly goals away. I think the goal we conceded on Saturday was avoidable, to be honest, and coming as it did, eight minutes into the game, it knocked us for six.
"It took us an hour to get going, but all credit to the boys, because they were different class in the way they came back. They kept plugging away, and we got the win and that will take us into tomorrow on a high."
