3 things we clearly learnt about Blackburn Rovers after their 1-1 draw with Blackpool

Blackburn Rovers endured another frustrating afternoon in their pursuit of a Championship play-off place on Saturday, as they drew 1-1 with Blackpool at Ewood Park.

After withstanding some early pressure, it was Rovers who took the lead, when Sam Gallagher netted his eighth goal of the season ten minutes into the game.

However, the Seasiders drew level shortly after half time, when Marvin Ekpiteta fired home after Blackburn failed to clear a corner.

Although substitute Bradley Dack then had a goal ruled out for off-side, Rovers were unable to find a second, while Blackpool also saw chances for a second come and go.

As a result, both sides were forced to settle for a point apiece, meaning the hosts have now won just two of their last 13 league games.

That means that Blackburn now sit seventh in the Championship table, two points adrift of the play-off places, leaving manager Tony Mowbray with plenty to think about.

So with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at three things we learnt about Blackburn from that draw with Blackpool, right here.

Chance creation is a concern

Goals have been a major problem for Blackburn since the turn of the year, and Saturday will have done little to allieviate those concerns.

Although Sam Gallagher took his chance to open the scoring extremely, there were very few other occasions in the match where Chris Maxwell was troubled in the Blackpool goal, even during the periods where Rovers had been putting the pressure on.

As a result, Rovers are going to have to find a more clinical cutting edge when it comes to opening up opposition defences when going forward, otherwise the chances they need to get back in the goals and wins, are simply not going to come on this evidence.
