Anssi Jaakkola - 5
Came to collect McLaughlin's cross, but got nowhere near it after getting stuck in traffic, allowing Oli Hawkins to head into an empty net. Beaten by a clinical penalty.
Luca Hoole - 8
Outstanding, young man. Faced up brilliantly with the threatening McLaughlin and enjoyed a debut to be proud of. Unlucky to be on the losing side.
Mark Hughes - 5
Caught out a couple of times, but read the game well for the most part. Appeared to be harshly penalised for the last-gasp penalty.
Cian Harries - 7
What. A Goal. Levelled the scores with a stunning 25-yard volley. He had struggled to that point, but improved thereafter. A good performance, on balance, and a strike to remember.
Nick Anderton - 8
Excellent debut. Hardly put a foot wrong and was a good foil for Hughes.
Josh Grant - 5
Smooth performance defensively. His passing could have been more accurate, though.
Paul Coutts (c) - 4
Was doing a valuable job shielding the defence, but he got involved in some needless handbags and was sent off with 13 minutes to play. A mixed debut, to say the least.
Harry Anderson - 5
Should have made more of a good chance in the first half but he took it too wide. Was a source of danger in the second half before being sacrificed.
Trevor Clarke - 6
A lively presence on the left flank, but his debut was cut short when he went off injured on the half hour.
Luke Thomas - 5
Not his day. Rovers' lack of presence up top gave him few platforms to work from, curbing his influence in dangerous areas.
Harvey Saunders - 5
Unselfish performance, doing the hard running his team needed, albeit without much threat to the Mansfield goal.
