WE give our player ratings for Rovers' home draw with Burton.

Jason Steele 6

Made the one save of note in the match when he turned Tom Naylor’s well-struck effort over the bar.

Jason Lowe 6

Improved showing from the captain, who saw a lot of the ball at right-back and kept things simple.

Scott Wharton 8

Lancashire Telegraph:

One aberration aside, excellent senior debut, winning more headers and making more clearances and interceptions than any of his team-mates.

Gordon Greer 6

The untracked Jackson Irvine got in between the Rovers centre-backs but the veteran was solid enough, making 13 clearances.

Stephen Hendrie 6

Did not start well but made some good blocks and attempted to offer support down the left.

Craig Conway 8*

Lancashire Telegraph:

Opened the scoring with a goal of the season contender and then set up Sam Gallagher to put Rovers back in front.

Jack Byrne 5

Irvine got in behind him for Burton’s first goal and he was unable to exert any real influence on the encounter.

Hope Akpan 6

Won the ball back on a number of occasions but headed over a good chance from a second-half Conway free kick.

Ben Marshall 6

The wantaway winger’s best performance of the season although he was not as effective after the restart.

Sam Gallagher 7

Lancashire Telegraph:

Laid on good opportunities for Danny Graham and Conway before opening his account for the club with a powerful header.

Danny Graham 6

Touch let him down when played in by Gallagher, he did not have a chance of note before being replaced by Anthony Stokes.
