The headline inclusion was Jonson Clarke-Harris, with the striker continuing his recovery from injury with his first start of the month.

The deadlock was finally broken inside the closing 20 minutes, with Rovers getting a reward for their patience.

It was Holmes-Dennis’ cross that sparked the move, with the delivery from the left-back taking a smart flick off Adeboyejo, which took the ball into the path of Mark Little, who made no mistake in converting from close-range.
