The Blackburn Rovers dilemmas facing Tony Mowbray ahead of Posh clash at 3pm

Blackburn have a hugely important game coming up today, with Rovers still hanging on to the hopes of a play-off spot and needing as many points as possible.

At one point, Tony Mowbray’s side were even as high up as third but a dip in form has led to them falling out of the top six entirely. They are still in with a shout, with the club sitting in seventh, but they cannot afford to drop many more points between now and the end of the season.

However, they’ve alternated who exactly they have used in that attacking midfield berth and have even tinkered their tactic slightly in recent weeks to not incorporate an attacking midfielder at all.
