KELLY: Made a couple of cracking second half saves to keep Rovers in the game...8

CURTIS: Not quite as convincing as in his four previous appearances and one slip nearly proved costly...6

BJORNEBYE: Struggled to cut out the supply line from the impressive Matt Hamshaw down the right...6

BROOMES: Never really looked comfortable against the aerial threat of Booth and Sibon...6

SHORT: Like Broomes, given a bit of a torrid time by Wednesday's front two in the air before getting stretchered off...6

FLITCROFT: Provided bite in midfield but didn't stamp his full authority on proceedings as we know he can...7

McATEER: Had a disappointing night down the right, conceding possession carelessly at times...5

DUNN: Drifted in and out of the game as Rovers were outnumbered in midfield...6

DUFF: Looked Rovers' most creative force going forward but starved of service from his team-mates...7 BLAKE: Improved as the game wore on and his pace and power caused a few problems...7

JANSEN: Another frustrating night. Held onto it too long at times but still looked one of the most likely to make something happen...7

SUBS

TAYLOR: Came on in difficult circumstances but coped as well as anyone in the air and scored his first ever senior goal...7

DIAWARA: Showed flashes of what he can do when brought on for the last 20 minutes...6

WEDNESDAY:

STRINGER: A baptism of fire for the seventeen-year-old but past the test with flying colours...8

HINCHCLIFFE: Limped off with an injury after 22 minutes...6

GRAYSON: Had a bit of a torrid time up against Duff...6

WALKER: There's life in the old dog yet...7

QUINN: Bristled with energy in the centre of the park...7

SIBON: Always a threat and unlucky not to score...8

BOOTH: Proved a real handful with his aerial ability...8

O'DONNELL: A hardworking display alongside Quinn...6
