Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna claims Joey Barton apologised to him after Tuesday’s 0-0 draw at the Mem for employing a more pragmatic style than what he’s become known for at Bristol Rovers.
The Gas successfully frustrated the League One promotion contenders to claim their first point in the division since January 7 and their first clean sheet in 11 matches in what could prove a hugely important result in the context of their season.
Barton’s side weren’t at their front-foot, free-flowing best but it was a performance built on discipline and organisation in defence and then trying to hit the Tractor Boys on the counter, which Aaron Collins came close to on a number of occasions.
