Blackburn Rovers failed to earn a promotion spot as well as a play-off position in the Championship League but according to the coach of club Gary Bowyer stated that this season should still be viewed as a success and the team should build upon their recent improvements.

Rovers concluded the campaign by securing their 3^rd successive triumph against Wigan Athletic as they added 3 more points to their total of 70 points which is considerably more than what they managed to secure during the previous season.

Bowyer said: “The progress we’ve made is down to a lot of people. The backroom staff and the players, they’ve really bought into what we want to try and do and achieve. We all know what this club has been through and we can’t rest, we’ve got a hell of a lot to do’’.

With the Financial Fair Play coming into full effect in January, Gary Bowyer is expected to trim the squad but the English tactician revealed that he is not under any kind of pressure on releasing some of his big and key players.

“I`ve got a trip planned to India but there`s no indication from the owners at all that we`ve got to sell any of our assets. We`ve got to trim the squad, that`s for sure, and there are additions I`d like to bring to the team. We will work very hard to make sure we have a good summer.” Bowyer added on.

There are a number of on loan players which will be returning to their parent clubs but there are others that Bowyer is interested in keeping on an extended period of time.

After a few weeks where they looked like getting into the play-offs to challenge a return to the Premier league, things are going wrong at Ewood Park after Blackburn lost yet another match in the league. Their latest 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth means that the club has managed just one win in the last five matches. This poor run of form has pushed them level on points behind Reading, who occupy the final play-off place with only a few months left on the campaign. Despite this poor result, manager Gary Bowyer has stated that he will not press the panic button just yet.

Blackburn are in the second season in the second division of English football after being relegated due to poor management recently. They are looking to get back into the Premier league, as they believe that a club of their size should be playing in the top division. The season started well for the club, but the last few weeks have been very disappointing. Apart from the 1-0 win over Reading, they have had a few things to celebrate in the last five matches. The fans had to witness yet another poor showing from the players after they lost 1-0 to a team just a few places below them in the table.

“We’ve got 12 games left to play in now and until it’s mathematically impossible, you keep striving to get as high as you can and hopefully into the play-offs. It’s important now that we regroup, we stay calm and we stick together. We’ve worked hard to get stability into this club. These last three games – we’ve got to make sure we stop that, obviously – but there’s no need to panic or anything daft like that. We haven’t made their goalkeeper work enough,” said the Blackburn manager.
