Joey Barton believes Shrewsbury Town paid Bristol Rovers 'ultimate compliment' in scrappy draw

Joey Barton believes Bristol Rovers "should have won" against Shrewsbury Town as they had to settle for a point in a scrappy encounter at the Mem on Saturday.

The manager said the Gas will look at the 1-1 draw as two points dropped when they reflect on the game as the season goes on.

Shrewsbury were intent on breaking up the game and they found success with their methods, with Rovers failing to find any sort of rhythm until Aaron Collins produced a moment of magic with 24 minutes to play. His spin unlocked a stubborn defence, sliding the ball into Ryan Loft's path and the substitute scored his first home goal for the club with a ruthless finish.
