Jason Steele 5

Could do little about Wednesday’s winner but the recalled keeper was squarely to blame for their opener. Went on to make a good save from Stevie May

Alex Baptiste 7

Brought Rovers back into the game with his first goal at Ewood Park and one of their few players who could say they played anywhere near approaching their best

Grant Hanley 6

You wonder whether had Adam Henley not been injured on Friday the Rovers skipper, who hardly trained last week, would have been rested. Stuck to his task

Shane Duffy 6

Made a mistake that May should have punished in the first half but improved as the match wore on, making countless clearances

Markus Olsson 7

His wayward second-half shot summed up Rovers’ performance but the left back was one of their better players

Craig Conway 6

Did not truly grasp his opportunity but did swing over the best two crosses of the game, from one of which Rhodes hit the post

Lee Williamson 6

Kept things ticking over but his replacement, Ryan Tunnicliffe, offered more of a threat going forward

Corry Evans 7

Rovers’ best midfielder on the day, he was always available for the ball and always looked to win it back.

Ben Marshall 6

One first-half effort that was comfortably saved aside, the winger was a subdued figure, giving the ball away too often.

Jordan Rhodes 7

Rovers’ most impressive player before the break, setting up the equaliser, having two goals ruled out and hitting the post.

Rudy Gestede 5

For the second home match running Rovers’ top scorer looked strangely out of sorts and he was replaced by Chris Brown
