Doncaster Rovers: Player ratings from the win at Cheltenham
Marko Marosi 7
Steady performance in second straight clean sheet for keeper. Just needs to work on quick distribution.
Mitchell Lund 7
Did not offer a great deal going forward but a strong defensive performance from the youngster.

Andy Butler 8
Involved in great physical battles at the back but more than held his own. Key to team’s resoluteness.
Cedric Evina 7
Known more for his offensive work, he was excellent in defence, throwing himself into challenges.
Jordan Houghton 8
Gets better with every minute of experience. Added bite to midfield and sparked plenty of attacks.
Matty Blair 6

Tommy Rowe 7
Forged an excellent understanding with Coppinger. Very lively over first half hour.
James Coppinger 8
The creative spark for so much of Rovers’ play with incisive passing. Created goal for Marquis.
John Marquis 8
A constant nuisance for Cheltenham with relentless running. Pressing play created several attacks as Rovers threatened in first half.
Andy Williams 6
