Rovers reporter Rich Sharpe hands out the player ratings after the 2-2 draw with Swansea City.
Jayson Leutwiler 5
Seemed to get down slowly for McBurnie’s second goal and a few anxious moments under the high ball. Little to do in the second half.
Elliott Bennett 6
Swansea took advantage of him being off the pitch when equalising. Substituted shortly afterwards after taking a knock in a challenge.
Darragh Lenihan 7
Claimed the opening goal, and was dominant in the air in the second half having been pulled out of position a little in the first.
Derrick Williams 7
Tested by Baker-Richardson in the first half but looked confident on the ball again, not least when his pass found its way to Dack for the equaliser. A good late block from a McBurnie shot.
Amari’i Bell 6
Supported the attacks and got in to some excellent positions down the left but lacked any real quality to his final ball.
Lewis Travis 6
Looked more comfortable in central midfield than right back where he had a tough mid-game spell. One crunching challenge on McBurnie in the second half lifted spirits.
Corry Evans 6
Was able to get in and around the Swansea midfield much better in the second half. Lifted spirits at Ewood with a nutmeg on McBurnie.
Bradley Dack 7
Matched last season’s tally of 18 with a well taken left foot goal and would have had another had his flick from Armstrong’s cross not hit the post.
Joe Rothwell 7
Busy and full of running as ever but may well rue not shooting when squaring for Armstrong in the second half. Not everything he tried came off, but never for a lack of trying. A fine end to the season.
Adam Armstrong 7
His cross was turned on to the post by Dack. Shot too close to the keeper after doing all the hard work late.
Danny Graham 6
Used his body to good effect to create Dack’s goal. Given an excellent reception when substituted, but few sights of goal.
Subs
Jacob Davenport (for Bennett, 27) 6
Took a while to get going, but played more on the front foot in the second half. Not afraid to put his foot in and went close to a winner with a fine strike.
Craig Conway (for Graham, 66) 5
Great reception for a fine servant as he made his 200th appearance for the club. Uncharacteristically wasteful with some late crosses, after one excellent cross-field pass for Armstrong.
Harry Chapman (for Evans, 73) 6
Breezed past his full back late on, but couldn't pick anyone out with his cross.
Subs not used: David Raya, Charlie Mulgrew, Ben Brereton, Dan Butterworth
