Parry left frustrated by defeat

Tranmere boss Les Parry could barely hide his frustration after his 10-man side were beaten 3-2 at rivals Rochdale. Dale captain Gary Jones made it 10 goals for the season with a first-half brace either side of Joss Labadie's effort for the visitors, but it appeared the hosts` hopes of victory were dashed by Ian Thomas-Moore's penalty late in the second half. But the points were secured when on-loan Scunthorpe striker Bobby Grant headed home Brian Barry-Murphy's corner in the 85th minute. Parry, who had defender Marlon Broomes sent off in the 24th minute, said: "It was very, very frustrating not to get something from the game because I thought we were tremendous when we went down to 10 men. "I thought it would have been an interesting game had we kept 11 players on the field but it wasn't to be and to play the way we did with 10 men meant it was really disappointing not to come away with something."
