Blackburn Rovers 0-0 West Bromwich Albion: Championship strugglers play out goalless draw

By Total Football News

Albion’s Isaac Price sending a low effort wide of the far post in the seventh minute was the only chance of a first half that lacked much goalmouth action.

That changed when Heggebo’s swivelling volley from six yards out was well saved by Toth after Callum Styles’ cross had been headed into his path by Ousmane Diakite.

Ryoya Morishita blazed an effort high and wide for Rovers, who failed to

Birmingham City 0-1 Blackburn Rovers: Todd Cantwell secures vital win for visitors

By Total Football News

Blackburn Rovers manager Michael O’Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire:

“I’m exhausted a little bit to be honest. It was one of those games, especially with seven additional minutes, where we put everything into the game.

“We had said to the players, we had to show that we wanted it more than the opposition, given the league position of the two teams.

We had to frustrate them at times, which we

Redmond made 276 appearances in the Premier League between 2016 and 2023 and was capped once for the England national team in 2017.

He spent the 2022-23 season with Turkish Super

The first half saw Boro dominate possession and Toth bookended it with fine saves from Luke Ayling and Strelec.

In between, United States midfielder Aidan Morris wasted the best chance of the lot as he fired into the side netting after being picked out in space inside the area, while Tommy Conway and Alan Browne were also guilty of not making the most of fine situations.

And there was a

Millwall manager Alex Neil told BBC Radio London:

“The first half, we weren’t really as fluent as I’d like us to be. At half-time, I changed the shape. That allowed us to get better pressure, we looked more threatening and we took the lead, deservedly.

“We then had an unbelievable chance through Camiel (Neghli) to make it 2-0. If that happens, the game is probably put to bed.

“Then we

One point and one place separated these two at kick-off, and with both still looking over their shoulder in the battle to avoid the Championship trap door this season, it was clear neither were willing to give an inch.

The hosts saw an early chance slip by when Yuki Ohashi blazed over unmarked from 10 yards, and the high-and-wide effort set the tone for most of this lunchtime fixture.

By Total Football News

Blackburn Rovers opinion: ‘Michael O’Neill doesn’t have magic wand’

By Total Football News

If the last two matches are anything to go by, it just shows that Michael O’Neill does not possess a magic wand to, in the blink of an eye, solve Blackburn Rovers’ serious issues this season.

He will have learned an awful lot so far in his four games. The euphoria of back-to-back wins followed by back-to-back defeats. Granted, six points out of 12 is clearly better than if he
