"We were pleased with a lot of things, though obviously we would have liked to have won the game," Trollope told the club's website.
"We got off to a shocking start but gradually grew into the game."
Rovers were caught cold in the first minute when Sido Jombati crossed for Phillips to score from close range and conceded a second seven minutes from time.
Trollope added: "The players came into the game off the back of two full, intense, days' training so we knew there would be a little bit of stiffness in the legs.
"Consequently, we were looking at the physical state of the players, trying to bed down a new system and look at options within that system.
"We go away thinking it was a fantastic workout."
Rovers are likely to be without midfielder Ben Swallow, who has a knee injury, when they leave for a two-match tour of Scotland on Friday.
