MARKO MAROSI 5

He should have come to collect a cross moments before Flynn opened the scoring.

FRAZER RICHARDSON 5

Started the game competently enough but too many mistakes crept into his game.

JOE WRIGHT 5

At fault for the first goal and never really looked at ease before making way for Butler.

CRAIG ALCOCK 6

Did well considering he was making his first appearance of the season.

TYLER GARRATT 5

Given a hard time by McLaughlin and hauled off at half time.

MATHIEU BAUDRY 6

Looked the part in the midfield holding role during Rovers’ good start but faded. His mistake led to second goal.

MATTY BLAIR 6

One or two probing runs but should have hit the target when he broke clear in the second half.

HARRY MIDDLETON 5

Knitted things together nicely enough but struggled to make any impact in final third.

LIAM MANDEVILLE 6

Needed a morale boosting display and delivered one. Won and then converted the penalty in confident fashion.

ALFIE BEESTIN 6

The youngster had a real go, holding onto the ball well at times and trying to create.

JOHN MARQUIS 5

Made skipper - but had a rare off day as he struggled to threaten.

SUBS USED

CEDRIC EVINA 5

Helped shore things up a bit down the left and tried to get forward.

PAUL KEEGAN 5

Made a couple of good challenges and kept things simple.

ANDY BUTLER 5

Came on to add some authority at the back but became latest casualty.
