FULL TIME
Rovers have given their all today but it’s just not enough.
They got themselves back into this game and then conceded again within seconds, which was criminal really.
And it was a former player in Kieran Sadlier who got Bolton’s winner.

You couldn’t make it up.
Bolton go down the other end and it’s former Rovers winger Sadlier who converts at the back post.

Odubeko fires home from close range!
A lifeline for Rovers.
The ball dropped perfectly in the box for the substitute and he hammered it home.

Trafford with an outstretched hand to keep out Rowe from a narrow angle.
It just won’t go in for Rovers.

Bakayoko on the counter.
Mistake by Williams in the build-up. He got caught and Bodvarrson raced clear to cross for Bakayoko.

HALF TIME
Rovers recovered from a poor start to the game to give as good as they got there.
Both teams have had their moments but neither have managed to break the deadlock.
The controversial moment was Bakayoko’s tackle on Clayton which other referees might have deemed worthy of a red card.
