Blackburn Rovers player ratings: Substitutes make the difference in comeback win (Lancashire Telegraph)
BALAZS TOTH - 6

Didn't have a great deal to do aside picking the ball out of his own net. Pulled off a couple of good saves at 0-0.

RYAN ALEBIOSU - 6

Quiet on the right. Wasn't overly involved in the right, though could have had an assist had Afolayan headed his cross in.

TOM ATCHESON - 7

Played a brilliant pass to unlock Burton's defence, building up to the equaliser. Had his hands full with aggressive Burton attackers.

SEAN MCLOUGHLIN - 6

Was beaten in the air leading up to Burton's goal. Otherwise largely untroubled.

HARRY PICKERING - 6

Solid down the left-hand side. Whipped in some decent deliveries.

ADAM FORSHAW - 6

Didn't impose himself on the game as much as I'd have liked. Wanted to see him dictate more with the quality we know he has.

JAKE GARRETT - 7

Tried to get Rovers playing with a few punched balls through the lines. Thought he was unlucky to come off on the hour.

RYOYA MORISHITA - 6

Drifted in and out of the game. Put a nice cross in for Ohashi early on but he put it over.

TODD CANTWELL - 6

Missed a really good chance when through on goal but hit Addai. End product just wasn't there in the final third until the end. Good ball for Gudjohnsen to equalise.

DAPO AFOLAYAN - 6

Looked lively with a few direct runs into the box. Should have scored but placed a header over the bar from a good position.

YUKI OHASHI - 5

Worked hard but again lacked a clinical touch. Should have scored or at least hit the target with an early header.

SUBSTITUTES:

KRISTI MONTGOMERY (GARRETT, 62') - 6

Added some extra energy into midfield.

JAYDEN FEVRIER (AFOLAYAN, 62') - 7

Came on and looked bright. Netted on debut with a fantastic strike into the far corner.

ANDRI GUDJOHNSEN (OHASHI, 62') - 7

Took the chance that came to him with a poacher's goal to get Rovers level.

SIDNEI TAVARES (FORSHAW,74') - 6

Wasn't on for long to make a major impact.
