Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Leopold Walhstedt - 6
Should have done better for the Millwall goal, which squirmed through his hands. Came off his line where he could and punched a lot of balls, though some he could have caught. Didn't let the early mistakes affect his confidence.
James Hill - 8
Another excellent performance at right-back. He is growing in stature and his performances are getting better.
Hayden Carter - 8
Won a lot of headers and was often the one orchestrating from the back. Good performance.
Dom Hyam - 6
Defended well having hobbled through most of the first half. Came off at the break with an injury that is hopefully not too serious.
Harry Pickering - 7
Good defensively against Longman and then Esse.
Sondre Tronstad - 7
Struggled a little at the start but then grew into the game. He was particularly good in the second half, breaking up play and throwing himself at shots.
Joe Rankin-Costello - 7
Another lively performance in the middle of the park, a position he's making his own. Lovely interplay with Brittain for the goal, a move he then finished.
Sam Szmodics - 6
Could've wrapped the game up as a contest but he was denied by a brilliant Bialkowski save, with his shot pushed onto the bar. Worked hard as always.
Callum Brittain - 8
Took his goal so, so well, having set up the equaliser too. His first for the club and another brilliant performance.
Arnor Sigurdsson - 5
Another very quiet display from the Icelandic forward. Gave the ball away when he did have it and just wasn't at the races. Subbed at half-time.
Tyrhys Dolan - 6
Worked his socks off up front but didn't get much of a sight at goal. Looked more effective when he drifted into wide areas.
Substitutes:
Scott Wharton (Hyam, 45') - 7
Rock solid after coming on at the break. He hasn't played a lot of football this season and adapted well to a difficult scenario.
Andrew Moran (Sigurdsson, 45') - 6
Could've wrapped the game up and made it 3-1 but Bialkowski made the save.
Adam Wharton (Rankin-Costello, 76') - 6
Came on to try and help Rovers control the game but spent most of his time defending.
Niall Ennis (Andrew Moran, 88') - N/A
On for Moran as he picked up a knock late on.
Unused substitutes: Hilton, Atcheson, Garrett, Markanday, Telalovic.
Referee: Andy Davies
Attendance: 13,834
