Grant Holt's early goal kept the Reds in with a chance of making the play-offs while meaning Tranmere are still looking over their shoulders at the bottom four.
Rovers manager Little told his club's website: "I didn't think there was anything in the game. They had one half chance and a couple of scrambles in our box and they were the same.
"They're a strong side and once they get one up it is hard against them. I know Frank (Barlow) was on edge on their touchline so you could tell they felt we had given them a game."
