FILAN: Not at his best on crosses but made a couple of decent first-half saves...6
CROFT: Again looked out of his depth defensively and was very poor going forward...4
HENCHOZ: One of the most consistent players of the season but even he looks as though he is becoming disheartened by what has happened around him...5
PEACOCK: Saved a certain goal early on but makes too many mistakes and there were a lot of defensive questions to be asked...5
DAVIDSON: What has happened to the confident, strong-striding player who arrived last year? Looks a bag of nerves......4
GILLESPIE: A bitter disappointment, failed to deliver the goods when it mattered...4
CARSLEY: A steady player but not, on this evidence, the midfield leader needed to dictate...6
WILCOX: Out of position in the centre but at least he showed he cared. Perhaps lucky not to be red carded when the stress showed just before half-time...6
DUFF: Early on looked a potential threat, but missed a glorious chance and was nowhere near the player he promised to be last season...4 THE FANS: My choice for the 'man-of-the-match' award, because they earned it more than any of the players. The support given to the team throughout the game was absolutely magnificent and deserved better, far better...10
SUBSTITUTES
DAVIES: Did set up one golden opportunity for Gallacher with an excellent cross
JOHNSON: Went on to allow Rovers to reshuffle and push another man forward but it had little effect on the outcome.
DUNN: It spoke volumes when a youngster was introduced and immediately brought so much more urgency and effectiveness to the team.
