THE key moments and player ratings from the game against Bolton.
BRAD FRIEDEL: Didn't command his area with the kind of authority we've come to expect but then it's hardly surprising considering what was happening in front of him...6
LUCAS NEILL: Never looked comfortable against the lively Youri Djorkaeff who was Wanderers' most dangerous player...5
VRATISLAV GRESKO: One of his best performances of the season. If everyone matched his effort and commitment then Rovers wouldn't be in this mess. STAR MAN...7
MARKUS BABBEL: Possibly his least effective game since signing from Liverpool. Never took command of the situation at the back...5
MARTIN TAYLOR: Had a personal nightmare. A mistake after 13 seconds led to the opening goal and he never recovered after that. Looked a bag of nerves throughout...4
TUGAY: At the hub of Rovers' best work in the first half but faded badly after the break. Didn't relish the physical stuff....5
JONATHAN DOUGLAS: Surpassed all expectations considering it was his first competitive game in a month. Kept things simple and wasn't afraid to get a foot in...6
BRETT EMERTON: Plenty of effort and endeavour but his final ball lacked quality at times, particularly in the second half when he burst clear with Andy Cole in support...6
DWIGHT YORKE: Did okay as the tip of Rovers' midfield diamond formation but ceased to be a threat when he moved up front...6
ANDY COLE: Looked sharp in the first half and scored a good striker's goal but he disappeared in the second half...6
PAUL GALLAGHER: Worked his socks off closing people down and when he went off, Wanderers started to play the ball out from the back with more confidence...6
SUBS: DINO BAGGIO (for Gallagher, 63) Bring back Grabbi. 3; NEIL DANNS (for Douglas, 74) Ran his heart out. 6; MATT JANSEN (for Neill, 83) Too little, too late. 5. NOT USED: JOHANSSON, ENCKELMAN
OPPOSITION:
JAASKELAINEN: Not convincing...5
HUNT: Still a lot to learn...5
CHARLTON: Aggressive in the tackle...6
N'GOTTY: Cock-up for Cole's goal...5
THOME: Very iffy...5
CAMPO: Did a job...6
FRANDSEN: Hauled off...5
OKOCHA: Was he playing?...5
NOLAN: Matchwinner...7
DAVIES: Two assists...7
DJORKAEFF: A class act...8
SUBS: STELIOS (for Frandsen, 31) 6; MORENO (for Charlton, 69) 6; PEDERSEN (for Davies, 86). NOT USED: BARNESS, POOLE
