SHORT: A real rock at the back for Rovers, especially when Norwich piled on the pressure after going two goals behind. Also looked capable of being a threat from set pieces at the other end...8
DAILLY: Few problems except for a dodgy spell just before half time when poor clearances put Rovers in trouble...7
KENNA: Showed his versatility in his first full game, lasted the pace well and showed plenty of composure...7
DUNN: Brian Kidd likes to use his youngsters sparingly, but very close with one header and a spot of magic set up Jason Wilcox for another...7
CARSLEY: Began and finished in dominant mood, though lost a bit of influence in the middle period of the game...7
WILCOX: Seemed happy to be more involved, made bags of runs and unlucky not to be on the scoresheet...7
OSTENSTAD: Showed a real poacher's instinct for his first goal, lucky with his second but signs of a good partnership with Ashley Ward...8
WARD: Only his second game but never gave his old club a minute's rest, set a terrific example...8
JANSEN: A good option when using three front men, often suggested he might produce something different to create a goal...7
SUBS
GILLESPIE: First real contribution prompted the crucial second goal and did much good work chasing back...7
GALLACHER: Kidd showed the Scot is not out of the picture as far as first team selection is concerned
JOHNSON: A real busy bee, packed plenty of action into a dozen minutes
