Another huge let off for Rovers.

Another poor clearance from Mitchell but the goalkeeper redeems himself by keeping out Washington’s close range effort.

Gilbey goes into the book for a heavy tackle on Jackson.

Blackett-Taylor bursts into the box and is brought down by Knoyle.

Poor clearance from Mitchell and then a poor pass from Clayton almost lets Charlton in.

Poor.

Jackson in the right place to stop Stockley’s toe-poked effort on the line.

The visitors have started the game much better.
