Head coach Rooney said: “It’s tight down there there’s quite a few teams, at the moment we’re almost in a mini-league. From our point of view we have to keep performing like we have in the last three and we will win games.”
Argyle belied their lowly position to score through skipper Lewis Gibson, Darko Gyabi and Mustapha Bundu but Boro replied through skipper Jonny Howson, Hayden Hackney and sub Emmanuel Latte Lath.
Rooney said: “I thought first half we were excellent in and out of possession.
“We wanted to nullify the way Boro wanted to play and we did that.
“I think we were very unlucky we were only 1-0 up at half time.
“Based on chances alone I was disappointed we didn’t win the game.
“For two of their three goals we were a bit naive.
“Overall a good performance if we can keep those performance levels up – Swansea, Sheffield United and today – we will win games.
“Everything we did this week was based on attack and I am delighted with the goals.
“There were so many good performances out there that’s a real positive.
“We wanted to win. For periods of the game we were on top in the game, and there were periods when they were on top.
“In the dressing room it felt like a defeat but what’s important when you don’t win a game is that you don’t lose.
“It’s a good start to this busy Christmas period, a good point.
“We are gradually getting players back which is good.
“What didn’t help us was that I had to take off two players through injuries.
“A point is not a bad thing but I thought we deserved all three.”
