Joey Barton said Bristol Rovers "have work to do" in the transfer market after his team were beaten 2-1 by Forest Green Rovers at the Mem on the opening day of the League One season.
Regan Hendry's stunning finish two minutes from time earned the points for the Nailsworth side. The Gas huffed and puffed, but struggled to break down a well-organised Forest Green defence.
Still, Barton's side had the impetus when Aaron Collins – fresh from signing a new three-year contract – cancelled out Jordan Moore-Taylor's header with 19 minutes to play. But Hendry snatched the points for Ian Burchnall's side with a fine finish from 20 yards, just out of the reach of James Belshaw.
