O'Neill happy with Rovers' four-point Easter haul
Michael O'Neill has won four and lost three of his 10 games in charge of Blackburn Rovers [Getty Images] Blackburn Rovers manager Michael O'Neill says he is pleased with the four points his side have gathered over the Easter period. Rovers drew 0-0 with fellow strugglers West Bromwich Albion on Easter Monday, having had a 1-0 win at Birmingham City on Good Friday. The results mean Rovers are six points above the relegation places with five games to play.
"Overall we have to be happy with four points from the two games," he told BBC Radio Lancashire. "I didn't think we played as well today - there's always a worry after what the players put into the game on Friday that they can't get to the same level physically. "I think first half we struggled a little bit with that, gave the ball away a little bit cheaply, and the goalkeeper makes an amazing save for us, which we needed at that point in time.
"But second half I thought we were a lot better. I thought we looked like the team more likely to win the game, but we didn't maybe make the best of some of the opportunities that we had. "So overall we have to be pleased with a clean sheet.
It keeps us six points clear of the teams that are in the bottom three and chalks another game off. " Latest Blackburn Rovers news, analysis and fan views Listen to Blackburn Rovers content on BBC Sounds
