Blackburn rovers

Wigan Athletic started the Shaun Maloney era with a battling goalless draw at north-west neighbours Blackburn Rovers.

Latics then had a 'goal' chalked off when James McClean - who became a dad for the fourth time hours before kick-off - sent over a corner that was met by Kelly at the back post. Latics continued to look dangerous, though, with Callum Lang sending a snapshot from 25 yards just over the top corner, before seeing another effort from distance touched behind for a corner. The home side started well with Ben Brereton-Diaz racing clean through the left channel, with Latics indebted to Ben Amos for making a superb stop.

In a really encouraging display, Latics had a number of chances to win the game, though both defences came out on top in the televised Sky Bet Championship ...

Blackburn Rovers boss Thomas Kaminski has confirmed goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski will undergo a scan on a knee injury after his absence vs Wigan Athletic.

Pears has four clean sheets in seven outings this season and overall, he’s managed eight shutouts in 15 appearances for the club’s first-team. It remains to be seen just how long the Belgian is out for though, with planned scans sure to shed light on the extent of his ongoing knee issue. Now, an update has emerged on the goalkeeper’s omission.

Rovers reporter Rich Sharpe picks out the talking points from the 0-0 draw with Wigan Athletic.

They can’t change the window, but they can their outlook. Rovers’ play has relied on clinical finishing, their 31 goals a reflection more about a lack of opportunities created than wasted chances. Thomas proved himself to be a willing ball carrier, hugging the touchline infront of the Riverside, and not being shy to deliver at the earliest opportunity. The sense of frustration inside Ewood Park was summed up by an attacking free kick ending up at the feet of Harry Pickering some 35 yards out. Jack Vale managed only 12 touches in his 61 minute appearance, his third successive league start. If the transfer window, and failing to add a striker, isn’t to be a repeated theme, then Rovers have to find solutions within.

"It's a positive that we are creating chances, we just have to do the hard part which is putting it in the back of the net. "Watching it back, he took my legs away but we have to deal with it. Pickering holds the same view, as the man closest to the incident itself.

Jon Dahl Tomasson felt Rovers failed to make the most of their opportunities as they were held to a goalless draw by Wigan Athletic.

We just needed a goal.” “I am disappointed we didn't take those moments.
