Jason Steele - 6

Looked nervy at times but, with his defenders throwing their bodies in the way of the ball, was largely untested.

 

Ben Marshall - 8

Still able to influence the match from right back, he created two great second half chances for the Rover strikers.

 

Grant Hanley - 7

Solid defensively, one first-half lunge aside, but missed excellent headed opportunities in both halves.

 

Shane Duffy - 9

No-one in a Rovers shirt made more interceptions, clearances and blocks as he completely nullified Grant Holt.

 

Markus Olsson - 7

Made a superb block to deny Nahki Wells early on, the left-back was one of Rovers’ best players in the first half.

 

Lee Williamson - 6

Forced Alex Smithies into the save of the match, he saw plenty of the ball and maintained possession well.

 

Tom Cairney - 7

Still feeling effects of injury, he played a lovely through ball to Josh King in the second half after going close in the first.

 

Ryan Tunnicliffe - 6

Committed as ever but not as adventurous as he has been as Rovers attempted to offer more protection to defence.

 

Craig Conway - 7

Skimmed the post and threw ball after ball into the Huddersfield box, one of which led to the penalty.

 

Josh King - 7

Justified his recall to the team but he should have marked it with at least a goal having passed up three chances.

 

Jordan Rhodes - 5

So often the hero the striker’s failure to tuck away his penalty came as a surprise to everyone in the ground.

 

MAN OF THE MATCH

Shane Duffy
Hardly put a foot wrong, his display, just like against Fulham, was a big reason why Rovers kept a welcome clean sheet
