A look at the key moments from the game against Birmingham
ROVERS
PETER ENCKELMAN: Considering he had 4,000 Brummies taking the Michael out of him incessantly, I thought he was excellent. Respect is due...8
STEVEN REID: Started off at right back but he doesn't look like a natural defender and it was no surprise when he failed to emerge for the second half...5
MICHAEL GRAY: Consistent, as ever, at left back. Souness's decision to sign him in January was almost as shrewd as his capture of Jon Stead...7
CRAIG SHORT: Great to know that he's going to be around for another year. Did a solid job at the back against Morrison and Forsell...7
NISSA JOHANSSON: It could be make or break for him next season. If he wants to be a regular in the side then he knows he's got to work on his concentration...6
TUGAY: Dictated the tempo in midfield. When he plays like this, he's worth another a contract...8
MARTIN ANDRESEN: Could this have been his last game in a Blackburn shirt? If it was then he bowed out with more of a whimper than a bang...5
JONATHON DOUGLAS: Will he or won't he sign a new deal? His versatility makes him a handy person to have around and there's no doubt he's improved this season...6
GARRY FLITCROFT: He can do a job on the right but I, personally, prefer to see him operating in the centre where he looks more effective...6
ANDY COLE: Let's hopes he settles his differences with the manager because Rovers need him next season. Starting to form a useful partnership with Jon Stead...7
JONATHAN STEAD: Worked his socks off up front and might have made it seven in 13 had it not been for Maik Taylor...7
SUBS:
LUCAS NEILL (for Reid, 46) Was he fouled? 6;
BRETT EMERTON (for Andresen, 46) Nothing's going right at the moment 5;
PAUL GALLAGHER (for Gray, 88) Too little, too late.
NOT USED: JANSEN, YELLDELL
OPPOSITION:
TAYLOR: Safe hands...7
TEBILY: Athletic...5
CLAPHAM: Run of the mill...6
UPSON: Out-muscled by Cole...6
TAYLOR: Steady away...6
CLEMENCE: Kept it simple...6
SAVAGE: Great engine...7
JOHNSON: Made the goal...7
LAZARIDIS: Nothing special...6
MORRISON: Hit the bar...6
FORSELL: Odd flashes...7
SUBS:
HUGHES (for Clemence, 57) 6;
JOHN (for Morrison, 61) 6.
NOT USED: CUNNINGHAM, CISSE, BENNETT
