CRICHTON: Didn't look like conceding apart from the penalty and kicking was again improved...7

WEST: Busy from his wing-back role and then in midfield but couldn't add much to Burnley's attacking options...5

COWAN: Had his hands full with Rovers' top man Robbie Pethick, although not much got past him...6

MELLON: It was a case of getting a foot in here and there rather than dictating for spells in a bid to keep Burnley's midfield on a level footing...6

THOMAS: Enjoyed a 90-minute tussle with Jason Roberts and kept him away from danger - the controversial penalty apart...7

ARMSTRONG: Played another important role in a generally tight defensive display...7

BRASS: Successful return to action as he snuffed out the threat of dangerman Jamie Cureton...8

COOK: Never got his passing game going which is so central to him and the team...5

BRANCH: Fell away after a bright start in which he caused Rovers problems in the air and on the floor...6

PAYTON: Quiet day for the leading scorer, who had little to thrive on around the box...5

LITTLE: Couldn't take the game by the scruff of the neck, although his bouts of trickery and delivery into the box caused the hosts problems in the first half...6

SUBSTITUTES:

ROBERTSON: Looked comfortable at left-back until making way himself in a tactical reshuffle

JEPSON: Didn't stamp his mark on the game in his usual manner after replacing Paul Cook

MULLIN: Welcome return from injury but unable to spark off a fightback in the final 12 minutes
