A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Charlton

BRAD FRIEDEL: Didn't have a save to make all night but still ended up on the losing side. 6

STEVEN REID: Possibly his best game in a Rovers shirt. Stuck to his task in an unfamiliar position and nearly scored with a rasping free kick. 7

VRATISLAV GRESKO: Everything he does seems to lack conviction at the moment but it can't help playing in a different back four every week. 6

MARTIN TAYLOR: Yet another new partner at the back but he looked more comfortable alongside Andy Todd than he has with Amoruso. 7

ANDY TODD: Deserves to keep his place following another solid display against his former club. 7

TUGAY: Saw plenty of the ball in midfield but didn't do a lot with it on the night. Too much went square or backwards. 6

GARRY FLITCROFT: Not one of his better nights. Let Hermann Hreidarsson pinch a yard at a corner and the next thing he knew Rovers were trailing 1-0. 5

DAVID THOMPSON: Wanted too many touches at times in the final third instead of trying to deliver an early cross. 6

BARRY FERGUSON: Tried his best to set things going but it was all too congested in midfield in the first half. 6

BRETT EMERTON: Guilty of drifting inside rather than providing the width Rovers so desperately needed from the flanks. 5

ANDY COLE: Needs more support up front. He can't be expected to do it on his own, particularly at home. 6

SUBS: JANSEN (for Flitcroft, 46) Failed to make an impact 5. BAGGIO (for Gresko, 78) Nearly snatched an equaliser 6. GALLAGHER (for Emerton, 81) The one plus point. 7 NOT USED: JOHANSSON, YELLDELL
