Phil SumblerBlackburn manager Tony Mowbray thought his side deserved more after watching them hold the Swans 1-1 in a pretty dull encounter at Ewood Park.
Bradley Dack’s first half strike was soon cancelled out by Andre Ayew’s fourth penalty in as many games as the two sides fought out a draw that had very few clear cut chances with neither side ever able to get control of a game that was another poor advert for Championship football.
To any neutral watching the game you would have struggled to have determine that either side was chasing a place in the Premier League and it seems more likely now that the pressures of the Championship fixture list in this strangest of seasons is now starting to take its toll.
But Mowbray was looking for positives in his team’s performance and was keen to point out after the game that he thought his side deserved more from the game.
โI think the performance level wasnโt much better or much worse than weโve been producing recently, but we were in the ascendancy for most of the game against a decent side and deserved better overall,” he said.
โWe played really well in the first-half and they changed things around a little bit for the second-half.
โWe tried to counter-change things with our formation a little bit and I thought there was enough to suggest we could have won it.
โWe were scrambling around in their six-yard box and weโre left a little bit frustrated by the result.
โWe can beat anybody in the league on our day and we could and should have beaten the team who could have gone second in our league had they won.”
