Grant McCann’s men romped to victory to extend their unbeaten run to four games. Strikes from Luke Molyneux and Joe Ironside had them 2-0 up before Danny Rose halved the deficit for the hosts from the penalty spot.
But a Niall Maher own goal restored the two-goal buffer after the break before Matty Craig and Kyle Hurst goals added further gloss.
Here’s how we rated the Rovers players today.
9. Harrison Biggins - 6
A rare start for the midfielder, he got stuck in registering three tackles. A welcome further option for McCann. Photo: HOWARD ROE
10. Luke Molyneux - 7
Scored a superb goal to cap off a fine move for the opener. Was adjudged to have brought down Vernam for Grimsby's penalty but replays appeared to show it was a harsh decision. Kept plugging away. Photo: John Hobson/AHPIX LTD
11. Joe Ironside - 8
Led the line, won headers and took his goal with the certainty of someone in fine scoring form this season, powering home his 18th of the campaign. Photo: John Hobson/AHPIX LTD
12. Hakeeb Adelakun - 9
Another outstanding showing from the loanee. He was the catalyst for the second goal, taking a handful of Grimsby players on before teeing up Ironside. Racked up hat-trick of assists. Been a superb addition. Photo: John Hobson/AHPIX LTD
