KELLY: Kept Rovers in the game with some good saves at a crucial stage of the first half...8

GRAYSON: Very solid and made a magnificent headed clearance to save a first-half goal...7

DAILLY: Against two of the First Division's most highly-rated strikers he was outstanding. Held Rovers' defence together under a lot of pressure and was a major factor in the clean sheet...9

BROOMES: Will have learned a lot from playing against two top strikers and made a point-saving tackle on Johnson 7

DAVIDSON: Had a lot of work to do down Rovers' left flank but got stronger as the game went on...7

GILLESPIE: Worked hard to help subdue the threat from Ipswich's wing backs...6

FRANDSEN: Not in the game as much as he should have been and gave Ipswich's midfield far too much room in the first half...6

FLITCROFT: Another steady performance but it is going to take time for his touch and passing to reach previous high standards...6

DUFF: Quiet first half, more of a threat in the second and produced the pass of the night to put Jansen away...6

WARD: Worked very hard but looks desperate to end his goal drought...6

BLAKE: Disappointing before going off injured at half time ...5

SUBS

JANSEN: Certainly brightened things up and made Rovers a threat in attack...7
