5. Brad Potts - 8
Was very disruptive down the right hand side as Rovers looked to build out and on a couple of occasions used his impressive engine to drive PNE up the pitch. Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
6. Ben Whiteman - 8
Despite missing a couple of games before the international break, and having four weeks off, it was like Whiteman had never been away. Composure on the ball paired with the quality to use it. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
7. Ryan Ledson - 8
Like Lindsay, Ledson signed a new deal this week also and again, he showed just why he's so needed. He set the tone inside the opening minutes with a crunching tackle and didn't give Rovers an inch as PNE won the midfield battle. Photo: Barrington Coombs
8. Alvaro Fernandez - 7
His energy gave Blackburn a torrid time and when in the final third he always seems to pick the right option. Pulled the ball all the way out for Daniel Johnson to tee up Ben Whiteman to make it four. Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
