Rogers perhaps felt he had to take a central position because Hughes was out of his usual position. If he'd 'marked' the scorer on the left wing then the other Rovers forward wouldn't have made the flick but would have had an unopposed run at the goal.
Difficult to assess from the briefest of clips but it seemed like the entire defence played a part, not to mention Rovers' forwards, in their goals.
But I'm not sure blaming one player is justified.

Absolutely bang on
