West Brom frustrations and Blackburn Rovers positives

Lancashire Telegraph — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:37:58 GMT

Blackburn Rovers' week ended in frustration as they let a 2-0 slip at West Brom.

Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred reflect on a positive week despite a frustrating 3-2 reverse at The Hawthorns.

Balazs Toth's inspired display helped them beat Bristol City but Andri Gudjohnsen's brace wasn't enough for anything at WBA.

The impact of the bench and more soft defending comes under scrutiny, though the merits of a decent points haul isn't lost.
