Joey Barton said he was "proud" of his Bristol Rovers players as they "stopped the bleeding" of a four-game losing run with a 0-0 draw against promotion-chasing Ipswich Town at the Mem on Tuesday.
Ipswich dominated possession and had 21 attempts, but Rovers managed the game expertly to limit the Tractor Boys to very few clear-cut chances, and the Gas came closest to a breakthrough when Scott Sinclair's opportunistic effort from close range hit the angle of post and crossbar before being bundled away.
The Gas remain 14th in League One after picking up their first point since the win at Cambridge United January 7, but they head into Saturday's clash with Burton Albion buoyed by a commendable performance and result against fourth-placed Ipswich.
