Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Aysnley Pears
Will look back at some of the goals and feel he could've done better. He was beaten by the pure pace of Clarke's strike but his poor clearance was a major contributor to the second. Looked a little hesistant for the third though the defence should've done far better. Some decent stops in the second half but a difficult afternoon. 4
Callum Brittain
Did well when he got forward but Ipswich did a good job pinning him back. Great cross for the second goal. 6
Hayden Carter
Struggled with the pace and athleticism of Hirst all game. Just wasn't at the races and dropped below his usual high standard. 4
Dom Hyam
The better of the two centre-backs but still not at his brilliant best. 5
Harry Pickering
Really struggled against the direct running of Burns and Clarke down Ipswich's right. Hutchinson caused him so many issues in the second half. 5
Adam Wharton
Looked leggy off the ball and couldn't dictate the game on it. This was a perfect example of the risk and reward of playing him as a sole defensive midfielder. 5
Lewis Travis
Lovely ball to set-up Sigurdsson for the equaliser. Should've been dropped deeper next to Wharton by Tomasson as Ipswich dominated the midfield. Played some nice passes in the final third. 6
Sam Szmodics
Struggled to really have much influence on the game in the first half but made the most of his chance in the second. A brilliant finish to bring Rovers level. 6
Andrew Moran
Started brightly when he could come into central areas but struggled when he was pinned back as a defensive winger. Subbed at the break on a yellow. 5
Arnor Sigurdsson
Took his goal very well with a great finish. Some nice touches but grew frustrated as the half wore on and was booked for a late tackle. Subbed at the break. 6
Harry Leonard
Did really well when the ball came into him but struggled for service in the first half. Almost scored with a diving header but Vladky pulled off a miraculous save to keep him out. 8
Substitutes:
Ryan Hedges (Moran, 45')
Only lasted eight minutes before he had to come off. N/A
Tyrhys Dolan (Sigurdsson, 45')
Should've scored moments after coming on but hit the goalkeeper from close range. 6
Dilan Markanday (Hedges, 53')
Did well after coming on and tried to pose a threat in-behind. 6
Joe Rankin-Costello (Brittain, 81')
Late change for Brittain. N/A
Semir Telalovic (Leonard, 81')
Came on for Leonard to try and find an equaliser. N/A
