A HARD fought game ends honours even, but it was a tough game for the fans.

ROVERS:

FRIEDEL: Saved the day with a crucial first half save to deny Ade Akinbiyi...6

NEILL: Hardly put a foot wrong since his move from Millwall but had a stinker here...5

BJORNEBYE: His sloppy backpass summed up a disappointing performance. Gave the ball away far too easily...5

BERG: Came to the rescue with a couple of timely interventions but seemed troubled by Leicester's pace upfront...5

JOHANSSON: Looked Rovers' best defender on the night but given the slip a couple of times by Akinbiyi...6

FLITCROFT: Failed to grab the game by the scruff of the neck as Rovers struggled to gain control in midfield...5

TUGAY: Gave the ball away too much in midfield as Rovers never got their passing game going...5

JOHNSON: Starved of service on the right as Rovers relied too heavily on David Dunn down the left...5

DUNN: One of the few bright sparks but faded in the second half...6

GRABBI: Looked well off the pace after missing the Arsenal game with injury problems...5

JANSEN: Had to wait until the 87th minute for his first real sight of goal...5

BENT (for Grabbi, 39)...5

GILLESPIE (for Johnson, 64)...5
