Catch the Shrimpers nap-hand: League Two Round-Up

The best chances of a dour game came in the second half, Matt Tubbs testing Rovers goalkeeper Michael Poke shortly after the restart, although there was very little to excited about at the Memorial Stadium.

Evans said: "You wouldn't have been able to tell which team was where in the table during the first half and we didn't play well. But we are not too unhappy. We improved to dominate much of the second half and had one great chance to win the game, which we couldn't take. It's back to the training ground on Monday for more hard work. We weren't able to get on the front foot, but that was partly due to Rovers showing a lot of commitment. Perhaps the thought of a couple of prospective new managers being in the stands brought a bit extra out of them and we know we are the big scalp in this division."
