Substitute Theo Robinson provided further gloss on with another breakaway goal deep into stoppage time.
“To come away from home, to a tough place and score three good goals is a fantastic start for us,” enthused Dickov.
“It’s a great start. I have to give a lot of credit to the supporters down here and to the players. To put on a performance like that is very pleasing.

“Considering a lot of the players haven’t had a full pre-season I thought the fitness levels were fantastic.”
Yeovil’s new-look back four struggled to cope with the power of Main and the pace of Nathan Tyson, as Rovers continually profited from simple balls over the top and looked threatening throughout on the counter attack.
