Here is how we rated Rovers’ individual performances. Let us know what you think on Twitter @FreePressRovers.

Produced an excellent save from Ward in the early stages. May have felt he could have got nearer to Eisa’s strike. Left woefully exposed by his team mates.

His severe injury really marred the day, forcing him off after 28 minutes. He had struggled to contain Peterborough to that point, though he did produce a couple of good blocks, including the timely intervention which led to his injury.

Even Rovers’ Mr Reliable looked unsure and uncertain of how to deal with a rampant Peterborough attack and was shaken off easily on occasion. Far from his best day.

Failed to mark Mason for Peterborough’s second and completely lost Kanu for their third. He looked rattled and was easily beaten on several occasions. Not the way he would have wanted to sign off his spell in charge of the side.
