Rovers players ratings from the Bristol City draw.

Thomas Kaminski 5

Should have done better with Vyner’s shot that allowed Semenyo to equalise. Made a smart stop from Wells in the first half but otherwise untroubled.

Joe Rankin-Costello 6

Was always going to be a tough afternoon up against Semenyo but held his own. Won three tackles, made two interceptions and two clearances. Felt he should have had a second half penalty.

Daniel Ayala 6

Two needless bookings blotted what was otherwise a good performance up to that point to keep Wells quiet.

Scott Wharton 6

Grew into the game after Ayala’s red card, winning some key headers. Was fortunate not to concede a second half penalty.

Harry Pickering 6

Sykes didn’t get any change out of him before being replaced. Stopped several crosses at source, and also won three tackles.

Tyler Morton 6

Made a good run forward and picked the right pass for Dack’s goal. Allowed Vyner to skip past him too easily in the lead-up to the equaliser.

John Buckley 6

Back in the side after serving his suspension and was busy in his work throughout, even if his more penetrative passes didn’t always come off.

Ryan Hedges 6

His cross created the early chance for Brereton and was also involved in the build-up to the goal. Had a deflected second half shot saved. Tried too many ambitious passes, and his set plays were a disappointment.

Bradley Dack 7

Took the one chance that came his way to put Rovers ahead. His influence on the team is growing each week. Showed his leadership qualities in the closing stages to help Rovers see the game out.

Ben Brereton 5

Missed the best chance of the first half and had a wild effort in the second. Full of running throughout, but contributed little in an attacking sense.

Jack Vale 5

Another tough afternoon for the striker who struggled to hold up the ball. Failed to stop Vyner’s run in the lead-up to the goal. Sacrificed soon after the red card.

Subs

Hayden Carter (for Vale, 75) 6

Turned to as the central defensive option on the bench to replace Ayala.
