Match report: Town 1 - 1 Bristol Rovers

But that was their only other genuine effort on goal, and by that stage, the visitors were looking dangerous.

It took some smart saves by Matt Glennon and good blocks by a variety of defenders to keep Paul Trollope’s men at bay before the break.

They finally forced the equaliser they had been threatening seven minutes after half time, with top scorer Rickie Lambert turning in his 10th goal of the campaign.

Try as they might, Town couldn’t build any momentum, and the game petered out, much to the frustration of the home supporters in a 13,779 crowd (323 in the away end).

Jones for Danny Cadamarteri was the only change from the side which started at Swindon, and Ternent stuck with the 4-3-3 formation which has served Town well in recent matches.

Jones, playing his first competitive senior match of the campaign, was soon involved, and his link play with Jim Goodwin and Gary Roberts initiated Town’s goal, with Worthington playing in Liam Dickinson.

The on-loan Derby man couldn’t get past the Rovers rearguard, but as Byron Anthony tackled him, the ball fell straight into the path of Flynn, who drilled a low right-foot shot past Steve Phillips from the edge of the box.
