MARKO MAROSI 7

Whether it hit the post first or not, keeping out Lee’s downward header at 2-0 was a key moment.

CRAIG ALCOCK 7

Started the game very confidently and made one or two vital tackles.

MATHIEU BAUDRY 6

Quietly went about his business. He wasn’t given the space or time on the ball to really get his passing going.

ANDY BUTLER 8

Defended excellently in the first half and capped a solid 45 minutes with a goal. Came more under the cosh after the break but continued to put his body on the line for the cause.

NIALL MASON 6

Played his part in a good defensive display in the first half - before the tide turned.

JORDAN HOUGHTON 6

Kept things simple. Quiet by his standards.

MATTY BLAIR 7

Worked hard, tracked back well and scored a quite sensational volley for good measure.

JAMES COPPINGER 6

Less effective than recent games. Drifted in and out of the game.

TOMMY ROWE 7

The most penetrative of Rovers’ midfielders during their first half purple patch.

LIAM MANDEVILLE 7

Unsurprisingly has an air of confidence about him at the moment. Took his goal superbly to make it six in six games.

JOHN MARQUIS 7

On the fringe of the game before his header led to the vital fourth goal. Very harsh if it goes down as an own goal!

SUBS USED

PAUL KEEGAN 5
