We rate the players after Rovers beat Hull City 3-0 in the Championship on Saturday
David Raya 7
A virtual spectator. Comfortably claimed a Grosicki free kick late in the first half and Bowen’s tame second half effort. Will have busier days
Elliott Bennett 7
Always available and aside from a couple of stray cross field passes he was solid on the ball. Looked to get forward as well
Jack Rodwell 8
Kept his place in the heart of defence with Mulgrew not fit enough to return and opened his Rovers account with first half header in a strong performance
Darragh Lenihan 7
Helped Rovers keep a third clean sheet in four matches. Came close with a header early in the second half and defended resolutely
Amari’i Bell 7
Will have braced himself for a tough afternoon against Bowen but the Hull man was barely in the game. Hurried a couple of clearances
Lewis Travis 8
Seemed to be everywhere in the first half. Brings a huge amount of energy to the team and always wanted to be on the ball. The sign of a confident player.
Corry Evans 8
Kept the game ticking over in midfield, won the ball back countless times and was neat and tidy in possession.
Harrison Reed 8
Lively on the flank. Interchanged with Armstrong and always offered an outlet. His second half display warranted his goal
Bradley Dack 7
Played an excellent slide rule pass for Armstrong opener. Whenever he is on the ball Rovers know he will create something
Adam Armstrong 8
Took his goal very calmly and is playing with confidence. Could have had another in build-up to Reed goal and was full of running
Danny Graham 8
There can be few better with their back to goal in the Championship. Brought others into play really well and left to a standing ovation
Subs
Joe Nuttall for Graham 75
Craig Conway for Reed 82
Joe Rothwell for Armstrong 82
Subs not used: Jayson Leutwiler, Derrick Williams, Richie Smallwood, Ben Brereton
