Head coach Kieran McKenna hailed the Tractor Boys' defensive display at Ewood Park after Conor Chaplin's ninth-minute goal was enough to see off Rovers, who had two goals chalked off.

"We came out at the start of the second half and did well. As the second half went on, it became tough.
"We knew there'd be tiredness in the group, and it became a challenging last 30 minutes.
