Prior to the win, Rovers had gone five games without three points or a goal in the league. The Lancashire club were in danger of extending this winless streak as they failed to capitalise on numerous first-half opportunities. However, a Reda Khadra free-kick with 13 minutes left earned Blackburn the victory, moving them up to fourth in the Championship.
Rovers had slipped down the table due to the poor run of results, and were in danger of falling out the play-off spots without a win.
However, Mowbray praised his squad for turning their form around, and admitted he felt unfortunate with recent results.

“We’ve had a run where the performance levels have been right up there with today. But in those games we’ve not picked up the points.

“You just have to stick together and it will turn around.”
