Bristol Rovers midfielder Stuart Campbell has revealed his side's draw with Exeter felt like a defeat. Rovers came away from St James Park with a point but had led 2-1 before a controversial penalty allowed the hosts to grab a leveller 15 minutes from time. Campbell told the club's official website: "We're extremely disappointed. The result feels like a defeat. "We started the second half really well, we were on top and deservedly went in front. After the penalty we kicked on and their keeper made two really good saves to keep them in the game." The game gave Exeter and Rovers' fans alike the chance to pay tribute to striker Adam Stansfield, who died recently from bowel cancer, and Campbell felt his colleagues did well not to get caught-up in the emotion of the occasion. "It's a really sad day for every footballer," he added. "It puts football in perspective after what happened to the lad. We had to come down and pay our respects and after we did that we had to be professional."
