“He’s missed a lot of football over the last two years and I think we have to make sure he plays enough protective football, where he plays 90 minutes and then another 90 minutes. “I don’t sit here thinking ‘a week or 10 days’ I’m thinking he needs to play a couple of 90 minutes and I have to watch him.” “I still see him carrying it a little bit, I need to see him flowing across the ground, I know he does the distance numbers pretty good but he has to show me some high intensity, that he can run over there and sprint to put a block in, as well as the brilliance he has.
Tony Mowbray's side edged a point closer to securing a place in the play-offs with a 0-0 draw against West Brom at the Hawthorns.
Rovers looked dangerous in the latter parts of the game and Gallagher was at the heart of it. Was unlucky to see his effort deflected and well saved by Johnstone, but apart from that, a quiet night for him. Nothing special in the middle of midfield, but it was what Mowbray needed. Was Rovers' standout performer and adjusted well to being put on the right of the back three. His save to deny Andy Carroll was not his best, but it was important in the context of game. In spite of that, he remained solid at the back alongside the three other defenders and can be very happy of his performance.
Hayden Carter has made an impressive start to life at Portsmouth who are keen to keep the Rovers youngster beyond the end of the season.
He is going to have a great career, he’s a great kid, very level-headed. He’s a good player, there is no doubt. Carter signed an extended deal with Rovers in the summer and is highly regarded at the club, though Mowbray has always made clear his preference for the club’s young defenders to gain experience out on loan.

For now though his focus will be on helping Pompey to return to the Championship. Rovers will be delighted with the way he has progressed and could even fast track his to the first team next season if they feel he could step up. The defender also excelled whilst out on loan with Burton Albion last season and could well force his way into the first team at Ewood Park in the years to come.

Sam Gallagher was completely out of the game too and touched the ball less than anyone else on the field to play 90 minutes. However, both strikers had only one shot apiece during their stay on the field and that isn’t enough for any forward to thrive. As the season carries on, they will need to create more and get goals from elsewhere. He was arguably Rovers best player on the pitch and was everywhere, creating things in attack and getting back to defend when needed. The issue then is that Tony Mowbray’s side need to score more goals amongst their team when Brereton Diaz is unable to score. That could come down though to a lack of shots, with the 22-year-old managing only one all game.
