KELLY: Inspired on his return to Bramall Lane, pulling off a string of top saves...8

GRAYSON: Solid and dependable at the back but his forward runs had to be curtailed following McAteer's dismissal...7

HARKNESS: Caught out of position for Bent's opener but otherwise steady...6

TAYLOR: Not particularly convincing against United's tricky frontman Martin Smith...6

DAILLY: Had his hands full against the pace of Bent and the United forward came out on top with a deadly brace...6

CARSLEY: Struggled to make an impact in midfield once Rovers went down to 10 men...6

FRANDSEN: Helped construct some enterprising moves early on before United's nummerical advantage took it's toll...6

McATEER: Set up Ward's opener before needlessly losing his cool which cost Rovers the game...5

WARD: Bagged a typical striker's goal and never stopped working for his team mates...7

BLAKE: Missed a sitter which would have put Rovers 2-0 up and that summed up his luck against his former club...6

DUFF: Back after injury, the tricky Irishman was a class above his team mates and looked Rover best source for an equaliser...8
