Joey Barton 'disappointed' but finds the positives as Bristol Rovers earn deserved point

Joey Barton admitted he was "a little bit disappointed" that Bristol Rovers were unable to defeat Tranmere Rovers after Elliot Anderson's goal handed the Gas a point on the road.

Similarly to last weekend's encounter with Bradford City, the Gas dominated the first 45 minutes but struggled to create any significant chances with Joe Murphy untested in the Tranmere goal.

The Pirates controlled the opening stages of the second half as well but were caught cold in the 56th minute when Murphy's long punt forward flew over the heads of Connor Taylor and James Connolly and into the path of Kane Hemmings who blasted Tranmere into the lead.
