Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton said:

"You can’t single anyone out,"

"I thought it was a really disciplined team performance.

"They are a really good side, they are always there or thereabouts come the end of the season for play-offs and they will certainly cause teams lots of problems because they’ve got lots of quality in the group.

"After the initial skirmishes, once they settled and we got our collective press and the line of engagement correct, I think we limited them to a header that hit the bar from a corner that was deflected in the first half and a header that the lad has headed over in the second half. Apart from that, I don’t think Belly’s had that much to do.

"Pleased with the defensive aspect, pleased that my number nine has got off the mark because it’s always good to get that goal. Azza is firing and I thought Harvey Saunders as outstanding today. He didn’t get the goal that his performance deserved but he set the tone for us.

"The lads who came into the game maintained the level of performance and showed a real team quality to get the job done."
