The player ratings as Bristol Rovers were beaten 2-1 by Peterborough United and knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round
By Sam Frost
Cardiff City loanee James Connolly made an impressive debut, growing into the game and making a superb goal-saving tackle.
Former Bluebird Sion Spence was also on the field and put in a goid performance before being replaced.
James Belshaw - 8
Luca Hoole - 8
James Connolly - 8
A baptism of fire against the electric Szmodics and Siriki Dembele, but the 20-year-old stood tall on his senior debut. There were some early nervous moments as he lost track of runners, but he was composed on the ball and made a brilliant last-ditch challenge to deny Szmodics a clinching goal.
Nick Anderton - 8
Trevor Clarke - 7
Paul Coutts (c) - 8
Zain Westbrooke - 7
Luke Thomas - 8
Antony Evans - 7
Sion Spence - 7
Curled a lovely ball in behind the defence to release Evans for the penalty incident, but his influence faded and he was taken off in the second half.
Sam Nicholson - 7
