Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Aynsley Pears - 6
Relatively helpless for all of the goals. None were his fault nor could he have done much about them.
Callum Brittain - 4
Contributed heavily to the second goal by letting the ball run under his foot. Didn't offer much going forward.
Dom Hyam - 3
A real nightmare performance. Three errors for the first three goals. Lucky to have stayed on at half-time and it didn't pay off.
Scott Wharton - 5
Wasn't at his best but certainly wasn't the biggest culprit in a poor first half. One of four changes at HT.
Harry Pickering - 4
A loose back pass in the first half went unpunished by Conway. Switched to left-centre-back for the second half.
Sondre Tronstad - 6
Probably the best of a very bad bunch on the night. But overrun in midfield with Bristol City dominant in that area.
Joe Rankin-Costello - 5
Took an early yellow card and went in for a few 50/50s that might've made Eustace nervous. Wasn't a surprise to see his taken off.
Dilan Markanday - 5
Sacrificed as part of a system switch at half-time. Wasn't in the match much but had a few half-chances.
Sam Szmodics - 5
Didn't have any influence in the final third. One decent chance but he shot wide under pressure from the defender.
Tyrhys Dolan - 4
Completely anonymous in the first half. Struggled to get in the game and it wasn't a surprise that he didn't come back out.
Sam Gallagher - 4
Cut a frustrated figure up front on his own. No real sights at goal nor enough support around him.
Substitutes:
Kyle McFadzean (Wharton, 45') - 5
On in the middle of a back three for the second half. Penalised for handball for the fourth.
Ben Chrisene (Dolan, 45') - 5
Didn't really add much in the final third after coming on at wing-back.
John Buckley (Rankin-Costello, 45' - 5)
Failed to add much more control to Rovers' midfield.
Andrew Moran (Markanday, 45') - 5
Ineffective in the final third as Rovers looked for an opening and a rout back into the game.
Jake Garret (Tronstad 80') - N/A
On as a late change at 4-0.
Unused substitutes: Wahlstedt, Koumetio, Carter, Tyjon.
Referee: Bobby Madley
Attendance: 18,672
