Rovers have dug in and showed some spirit but it’s not enough as they slip to a fifth defeat from seven.

A moment of quality from Elliot Lee is ultimately the difference.

Late chance for Bailey from a corner but his effort drifts wide.

Fletcher fires an effort just wide.

Eight minutes to be added on.

Lee is allowed to drift inside and fire home from the edge of the box. It might have taken a slight deflection.

He got away from Broadbent far too easily there.

New signing Steven Fletcher is on for Wrexham.

Hurst and Marsh have given Rovers some energy in attack.

Marsh and Hurst on for Faal and Molyneux.

Lawlor with another good save to keep out Palmer’s header.

O’Connor shoots wide. The home side are ramping it up again.
