FILAN: One hairy first-half moment but was well protected and did little wrong under limited fire...7
McATEER: Another good game and was always going forward trying to provide an attacking spark...7
HENCHOZPEACOCK: Outstanding performance in difficult circumstances when concentration was essential. But he always seemed to be there when needed with a head, or a foot, to clear the danger and tried to use the ball well...9
DAVIDSON: Good game and twice close to scoring after surging second-half runs...7
JOHNSON: Not in the game enough before the break. Had a much brighter start to the second half before making way...6
MARCOLIN: Battled away in the lone central midfield role before being substituted...6
WILCOX: So much effort but only rarely got his crossing right. Too many went straight to defenders - but there were a lot of them...6
WARD: The kind of enthusiastic performance we have come to expect but there was little room for manoeuvre and he lacked quality service...6 SUTTON: Clearly not 100 per cent fit, no-one could doubt his courage or character but it looked tough going even for a player whose mere presence caused problems...6
JANSEN: Looked the immensely-talented man who might produce something magical to break the deadlock. Just frustrates at times when he tends to over-elaborate...8
SUBS
GILLESPIE: Couldn't make the hoped-for impact in the final 20-odd minutes
CARSLEY: A delayed introduction after his ankle problems but well received and seemed to settle quickly
DAVIES: Last throw of the dice for Rovers in the dying minutes
