Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.

Aynsley Pears - 8

Pulled off some important saves in the second half to keep Rovers in the game. Denied Cissoko and Bundu with two good stops.

Hayden Carter - 4

Gave the ball away a few times and struggled against the very dangerous Cissoko.

Danny Batth - 4

Struggled with the pace of Obafemi. Was lucky not to give a goal away in the first half after the striker got the better of him.

Dom Hyam - 5

Booked for a cynical foul in the first half. Better in the second half.

Harry Pickering - 5

Got forward down the left but couldn't create much. Got a bit more joy in the closing stages.

Lewis Travis - 5

Gave a few sloppy passes away in the first half. Rovers were outnumbered in midfield and Plymouth got through the centre too often.

Sondre Tronstad - 6

Not his best display in midfield. Rovers just lack some control in the middle.

Andi Weimann - 5

Had an early opportunity to give Rovers the lead but the ball ran away from him as the goalkeeper came out. Didn't offer much, starting a third game in seven days.

Tyrhys Dolan - 4

A disappointing week for Dolan after impressing last Saturday. Struggled to get in the game and lost the ball several times in the second half.

Ryan Hedges - 6

Tested Grimshaw with a decent hit from outside the box. Some nice touches but nothing meaningful.

Makhtar Gueye - 5

Didn't have much service but didn't really grasp the opportunity with both hands.

Substitutes:

Todd Cantwell (Dolan, 57') - 8

Came on and increased the intensity. Looks nailed on as a starter when he's up to speed.

Yuki Ohashi (Gueye, 57') - 7

Nodded down Pickering's cross but somehow nobody got a touch.

Joe Rankin-Costello (Batth, 66') - 8

Came on and played right-back for the first time under Eustace.Popped up at the back post to equalise. Had a good case to start there next game if Brittain isn't fit before scoring anyway.

Amario Cozier-Duberry (Weimann, 66') - 8

The brightest of Rovers' attackers. Came on and looked like he might create something. Has done enough to start next time, for me.

Arnor Sigurdsson (Hedges, 75') - 6

On as a final throw of the dice.

Unused substitutes: Toth, McFadzean, Buckley, Baker.
