Joey Barton admitted Bristol Rovers "have to be pleased with a point" as they came from behind twice to draw 2-2 with Morecambe in League One on Saturday.
Rovers created several good chances, particularly in the first half, but they fell behind to a screamer from Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Jensen Weir in the 12th minute. The Gas hit back just shy of the half hour mark with Ryan Loft tucking away Aaron Collins' cross, but it proved to be a frustrating afternoon for Barton's side, who hit the woodwork twice and failed to capitalise on their dominance of the territory.
Kieran Phillips restored Morecambe's lead shortly after the break, with Rovers stung on the counter and although the pressure remained on the visitors, the chances started to dry up for the Gas until debutant Bobby Thomas reacted fastest to smash home a loose ball with 10 minutes to play.
