Boss John Ward recruited no-nonsense midfielder O'Toole on loan from former club Colchester and the pair have dragged Rovers to safety since they arrived in December.
O'Toole, who plays his last game at Dagenham and Redbridge today (Monday), will then return to take part in Colchester's League One relegation scrap and said:
"I've had a few injuries in the last few seasons and so it's been nice playing every week. I've enjoyed myself, but I want to play as high as I can and play against better players.
"I want to do what I can to help Colchester now. They're not safe and could do with a couple of wins. The manager told me to go out and get some games under my belt and I've done that."
But O'Toole feels Rovers are in safe hands with Ward in charge and said:
"We've seen what he's done in the last couple of months, so it can only be a good thing if he stays and kicks on even more. I think he'll need the backing from upstairs and, if he gets that, then they've definitely got a chance.
"I know what John Ward's about and what he gets out of players and how he works so he's been quite a big reason for coming here. Had it been someone else, maybe I wouldn't have come.
"I've done alright here, but i'm a bit disappointed that I haven't scored a few more goals so I want a goal on Monday.
"When I came we were bottom of the league so I definitely feel like I've put a shift in to get the club where it is now as well as help all the other lads. All the lads have put a great deal of effort in and I've contributed to that so I'm relatively happy.
Ward's contract runs out in the summer, but he is in discussions win the board and is enjoying life at the club. He said:
"I haven't worked in a factory, driven a lorry or been a painter and decorator, I've been in football as a player, coach and manager for forty years. I'm the luckiest man ever."
When I asked John whether he would be committing to Rovers for next season, I got a one word answer. "Depends." He said - which suggests that it's down to the board to put together the right deal.
I suspect that deal won't just be about Ward's personal package either, but how much the men in the suits will buy into his vision for the club.
Given their track record in recent seasons, nothing is certain, but if they do back Ward, I'll be straight down to the bookies to place a promotion bet for next season.
Steve Mildenhall shut out York and denied the relegation candidates a much needed win.
Rovers keeper Mildenhall pulled off three great saves to help stretch the Minstermen's winless streak to sixteen games as they look favourites to return to the Conference after only one season.
Seconds before the break Mildenhall got down to beat away a shot from midfielder Tom Platt and in the 72nd minute he blocked an eight yard strike from skipper Chris Smith as York turned up the heat.
But Mildenhall saved the best for last when he flew through the air to claw away a great 30 yard curling effort from substitute Michael Coulson - his first appearance following a six month lay off with a cruciate ligament injury.
York have now not won in sixteen games and the their poor season was summed up in the seventh minute when Mildenhall flapped and missed at a high ball and Josh Carson stroked the ball wide of an open goal from the edge of the box.
But Rovers showed they could be just as sloppy in the 34th minute when defender Lee Brown cut the ball back for striker Eliot Richards to blast over from ten yards with the goal begging.
York manager Nigel Worthington knows his team are running out of time if they are to avoid dropping back into the Conference after only one season, but was pleased with the draw and said:
"It was a point gained, it could have been three on chances, but you have got to stick the ball in the back of the net.
"The spirit shown by the players has been first class and today they showed there's a bit of steel there. We had chances to win, but the overall performance was much better."
Rovers manager Ward said:
"There was a huge amount of effort and I've no grumbles. York City were resolute and strong and fortunately our keeper was up to it.
"I said to the players at half time 'if we can't win this, don't lose it' and that's how it panned out."
