. Louis Jones 6
Could have done better with his handling of the Morgan Fox shot that led to Tom Ince’s goal but pulled off some good saves overall and distributed the ball out well. Photo: Andrew Roe/AHPIX LTD
. Kyle Knoyle 7
Excellent in a position in which he has not featured regularly during his career on the right of a back three. Showed calm and composure defensively and took the opportunities to push out when they opened up. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
. Ben Blythe 8
Outstanding in the middle of the back three. He marshalled his fellow defenders superbly, timed his challenges well and was also not afraid to carry the ball out from the back and play diagonals. He may be called into action in the league sooner rather than later and did everything to suggest he is ready. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
. Cameron John n/a
Another victim of Rovers’ recent injury curse, he was forced off after 12 minutes with a back problem. Photo: HOWARD ROE, Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
. Branden Horton 7
Caught out a little bit for the second goal but he was very good throughout the evening, both with his ball carrying and his defensive work against a quality opposition. Another one who increasingly does not look out of place in the senior side. Photo: Daniel Chesterton
