Tranmere manager Nigel Adkins was keen to look at the positives after his side grabbed a vital point in their battle to avoid relegation following a 1-1 draw with MK Dons.
A late Luke Norris penalty cancelled out Danilo Orsi’s first-half strike to ensure the spoils were shared at Prenton Park, with Rovers now just two points above the Sky Bet League Two drop zone.
The visitors started brightly and could have been ahead after 10 minutes when Scott Hogan headed straight at Luke McGee in the Rovers goal from six yards.
The Dons eventually broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute when Orsi reacted quickest after McGee had blocked his initial shot to nod the ball home.
The hosts came close through Sol Solomon and substitute Norris after the break, while Hogan could have added a second when he was denied with only McGee to beat.
That miss proved to be costly when Solomon was brought down in the area with 11 minutes remaining and Norris converted from the spot to earn a point.
Tranmere boss Nigel Adkins, whose side are now without a win in eight games, said: “I thought we started the game excellently.
“We knew they were a very possession-based side and wanted to play, but I thought from the outset we were at them, pressed, closed them down and were tenacious in what we did.
“We went down after half-an-hour, but in the second half we made a few changes, scored the goal and could have scored more.
“The lads worked their socks off and the fans got right behind the players. We passed the ball well and all-in-all there were some good performances, and it was an entertaining afternoon’s football I thought.
“You’ve seen a team there who are fighting and scrapping and we’ve created chances, but it’s another point on the board to add to the one we picked up in midweek.
“There’s a real togetherness, which is important for where we are at this moment in time.”
A disappointed MK Dons manager Scott Lindsey, whose side are without a win in four, said: “I’m really disappointed because we wanted to come here and win.
“We didn’t show any belief in the second half. I thought first half we were OK, not great, but OK. We created opportunities and were good in possession.
“I changed a few things at half-time because I felt our second-half performances haven’t been great of late, so it was really important that we played with a belief, but we didn’t do that.
“We had so many balls coming into our box and the more they did that, the more the likelihood that something would drop for them and it did with the penalty.
“Before that we had a great chance when Scott Hogan went through and if he’d scored that, it would have been a different game.
“I can’t fault the players’ effort, but the belief isn’t there at the moment and that’s down to me.”
