Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.

Aynsley Pears - 8

A confident return from the Rovers goalkeeper. Made an important save to deny Radulovic and his handling was clean and tidy. A confidence-boosting performance.

Callum Brittain - 5

Didn't offer enough of a threat in the final third from right-wing-back. Can't seem to find his form like many of the others.

Hayden Carter - 6

Lasted 17 minutes before he was forced off with an early injury.

Dom Hyam - 6

A better performance than at West Brom. Swept up well in the middle of the defence.

Harry Pickering - 7

Moved to the left of a back three and did well overlapping and trying to add an extra body in attack. Drove well with the ball to create overloads, particularly in the first half. Pulled his hamstring and went off, hopefully that isn't too serious.

Ben Chrisene - 6

Tried to get forward and offer a threat down the left as a wing-back. Would have liked to see him show a bit more confidence to get past his man. Solid debut.

Sondre Tronstad - 4

Really off the boil. Sold S.Wharton short which gave Rudoni a huge chance which he should have scored from. Regularly gave the ball away.

Adam Wharton - 7

Took his goal really nicely after showing good anticipation to intercept Hogg's pass. Didn't really see much of the ball afterwards but better than most.

Jake Garrett - 6

Played to the right which probably didn't suit him as well as a more central role. Worked hard as usual but couldn't add a spark in the final third.

Sam Szmodics - 6

Continually drifted out wide in a bid create but nothing came off, not for a lack of trying. Would've been better slightly more central and closer to the goal.

Sam Gallagher - 6

Ran the channels well and was a general nuisance to the Huddersfield defence. No real sight of goal and could've done with more support.

Substitutes:

Scott Wharton (Carter, 17') - 6

Came on for Carter in the middle of defence and then out to the left later on. No thrills or spills.

Joe Rankin-Costello (Pickering 64') - 6

Surprisingly played as the right-sided defender when Pickering went off in a defensive reshuffle.

Arnor Sigurdsson (Chrisene, 64') - 6

Linked up with Szmodics down the left and had a couple of pot-shots.

Semir Telalovic (Gallagher, 70')

No real sight of goal after coming on up front.

Andrew Moran (Garrett, 70')

Found some nice pockets of space but they didn't lead to any clear-cut openings.

Unused substitutes: Wahlstedt, Ayari, Markanday, Leonard.
