As a result, the club finds itself struggling in the bottom half of the table with six matchdays already over. With the way proceedings are going on currently, Blackpool will find it difficult to improve on the 16th placed finish in the Championship last season.
Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, have been highly inconsistent in their recent games. They have three wins and defeats each in their last six matches. Having started the season in a spectacular fashion with three wins from their opening three games, Blackburn have suddenly lost their winning touch and are now on a three-match losing run in the Championship. The fans and the coaching staff will be hoping that the players can bounce back quickly to winning ways.
