Bristol Rovers player ratings vs Exeter City: Promise Omochere and Shaq Forde amongst stand outs
Josh Griffiths - 6
Made a huge save to deny Millenic Alli early into the game and commanded his area well. Couldn’t have done anything about the three goals.
Joel Senior (off for Scott Sinclair 74’) - 6
Looked bright up and down the right flank. There will be question marks about the defending at the back-post for Exeter’s equaliser but looking to be a good pick up for the Gas.
Connor Taylor - 6
Largely solid but will be disappointed with the three goals.

James Wilson - 6
Similar to Taylor. Solid for the most part and produced some lovely long balls but the goals conceded were incredibly soft.
Clinton Mola - 6.5
Solid without being spectacular in the first half but was outstanding in the second, popping up with some crucial blocks and interceptions while looking a threat in the final third.
Luke Thomas (off for Taylor Moore 74’) - 6.5
Worked tirelessly at left-wing-back. Naturally not his best position but got stuck in at both ends.
Kamil Conteh - 7
Classy display in the middle of the pitch on his 22nd birthday. Played more forward balls than usual which is the main area of his game that’s come under criticism at times. Cleaned up nicely and got Rovers on their way.
Jamie Lindsay (off for Gatlin O’Donkor 81’) - 6
Tidy without being spectacular.
Isaac Hutchinson - 7
One of Rovers’ liveliest players throughout. Unlucky to see a good chance blocked in the first half before then having a goal ruled out for an offside in the build up. Looked a real threat throughout. Up there with one of his best league performances for the Gas.
Shaq Forde (off for Chris Martin 82’ ) - 7
Will come away disappointed he didn’t score. Saw an effort deflected wide in the first half before forcing a good save that ended up with Promise Omochere bundling home the opening goal before scoring one of his own that was immediately flagged for offside.
Promise Omochere (off for Luke McCormick 81’) - 8
Excellent off the ball, particularly in the first half as his sheer strength forced Exeter into errors, allowing him or his teammates to pick the ball up in dangerous positions. Then found himself in the right place at the right time to bundle home his second goal in as many games.

Scott Sinclair (on 74’) - 5

Gatlin O’Donkor - N/A
Came on late but was desperately unlucky not to score an equaliser.
Luke McCormick - N/A
Came on late.

Came on late.
