Jason Steele 6

Could not be blamed for any of the three goals he conceded and made good saves from Alex Pritchard in the first half and then Jota when the game was level

Alex Baptiste 5

Had to walk a tightrope after a harsh first-half booking, his inability to clear Andre Gray’s shot off the line summed up the right-back’s afternoon

Grant Hanley 5

In constant danger of being exposed by Gray’s pace, the Rovers captain threatened to lose his head after Jota’s killer third goal

Shane Duffy 4

Apologised for his ‘shocking’ performance afterwards on Twitter, the centre-back was all over the shop for the goal that put the Bees in front

Markus Olsson 7

Allowed Moses Odubajo to cut inside for Brentford’s first goal but otherwise the left-back was Rovers’ best player and their best outlet

Craig Conway 6

Created Rudy Gestede’s goal and sent over cross after cross and was a tad unlucky to be replaced by the impressive David Dunn

Lee Williamson 5

The Bees got lucky with their third and final goal but replays proved the midfielder let Jota go after the ball fell to the Spaniard

Corry Evans 6

Brentford won the midfield battle hands down but it was not for a lack effort from Evans, who kept the ball well and won it back

Ben Marshall 5

Partly to blame for Brentford’s first two goals, he had the chance to make amends in the second half but blasted against the post

Ryan Tunnicliffe 6

Rovers’ most impressive performer in the first half, the recalled midfielder’s surging runs caused the Bees backline problems

Rudy Gestede 6

Rovers’ top-scorer did his job, scoring for the fifth successive away game, but in truth he was well marshalled
