Doncaster Rovers:
Sullivan 6: Hardly had anything to do throughout the game, especially second half, but could not prevent the two Cheltenham goals.
O'Connor 6: Was out-tricked by Gillespie for Chelenham's first goal. Moved into a back three after the break and mopped things up while Rovers searched for a way back into the game.
G Roberts 6: Had plenty of opportunity to bomb forward down the left flank in the second half but was unable to make a telling contribution.
Stock 5: Doubtful with injury before the game, the talented midfielder was not as influential as he has been throughout the season.
McCammon 5: Threat in the air, occassionally, but rarely used his pace and power to effect.
Taylor 6: Had little support in the first half and was left isolated when the ball was pumped forward. Unlucky to see a 35th minute shot cleared off the line.
Wellens 6: Although recently voted Rovers player of the year the midfielder could not find the magical touch he has shown all season.
Green 7: Rovers longest-serving player ran his heart out and blasted home the equaliser. Saw another late effort saved superbly by home keeper Shane Higgs.
Hird 6: Struggled to cope with the strength of Cheltenham striker Paul Connor. Grew more comfortable on the ball as the game progressed.
Mills 6: A nervous start but grew as the game went on. Unlucky to see a bullet header tipped over the bar just after half-time.
Coppinger 6: Always willing to show for the ball and cause more problems for Cheltenham defence in the second half before being replaced on 75 minutes.
Subs:
Price. 6: Replaced Taylor on 61 minutes found it difficult against the strong Cheltenham centre backs but created Paul Green's goal to give Rovers a lifeline.
Heffernan 6: Thrown on for McCammon with 15 minutes left and saw two sharp shots excellently saved by Hicks.
Guy 5: O'Driscoll hoped Guy's pace would stretch the Cheltenham back line when he replaced Coppinger on 75 minutes but he was unable to shine.
