Player ratings: How did Doncaster Rovers' players perform in defeat to Burton Albion?

MARKO MAROSI 6

Very rarely tested. His handling was sound throughout. Might be slightly disappointed with the angle Boyce beat him.

NIALL MASON 7

His athleticism is really coming to the fore. Kept Sordell quiet and got forward impressively. Very good display.

JOE WRIGHT 7

Another composed performance from the young centre back. He has started the season in good nick.

ANDY BUTLER 6

Collected his fourth booking in four games. Almost played his team into big trouble in the first half. Otherwise okay.

DANNY ANDREW 7

Delieverd some useful balls into the box and competed well defensively.

HERBIE KANE 6

Failed to reach the very high standards he set against Wycombe and Scunthorpe but still unlucky to be brought off.

BEN WHITEMAN 6

Used the ball well at times but might’ve done more to block Fraser before he played in Boyce for the goal.

TOMMY ROWE 6

Showed some really classy touches but didn’t get into as many dangerous areas as in previous games.

JAMES COPPINGER 6

Rarely gave the ball away. Might have made more of a good opening before the break.

JOHN MARQUIS 5

The one chance he got he should have scored.

MALLIK WILKS 6

Proved to be Rovers’ chief threat, just lacked that composure when he got a sight of goal.

SUBS USED

PAUL TAYLOR 6

Found pockets of space and used the ball intelligently. Went close with a deflected freekick.

MATTY BLAIR 5

Gave the ball away too much and struggled to really make an impact.

ALFIE MAY N/A

Unable to get into the game as a late substitute.

Ian Lawlor, Luke McCullough, Tom Anderson, Alfie Beestin.
