KELLY: Didn't really have many saves to make, his biggest problems came in dealing with ill-judged back passes...6

GRAYSON: Like his defensive team-mates was unconvincing but he didn't have a disaster...6

PEACOCK: Made some crucial blocks early on but fell victim to the general defensive malaise...5

DAILLY: Always a threat at attacking set pieces but his priorities need to be at the back...5

DAVIDSON: Did really well for Rovers' goal but, like his Scottish international colleague, must put defensive duties first...5

JOHNSON: One player who did, at least, look 'up' for the game as much as Wanderers. Made some very important challenges and worked his socks off but the game was decided in other areas...7

McATEER: This game again suggested he would be better on the right than in a central midfield role...5

FRANDSEN: Occasional quality moments but Bolton fans must have wondered what had happened to their former all-action man...5

DUFF: Perhaps the one player who threatened to do some damage, though not really enough to bridge the gap between the sides...7

WARD: As ever he tried his heart out but simply didn't look ready in terms of fitness or sharpness after so long without a game...5

BLAKE: Took his goal excellently after missing those headers against Newcastle but contributed little else...6

SUBSTITUTES

GILLESPIE: Surprising to see Duff taken off and the change made little difference apart from giving him some much-needed action

DUNN: Tried to instil some movement and urgency

OSTENSTAD: Had little time to make an impact
