Fan View: Blackburn Rovers

Blues host Blackburn Rovers at St. Andrews tomorrow afternoon. Rob Wildey caught up with Rovers fan Neil Halford.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON OWEN COYLE?

I feel very sorry for him. He shows passion, he tries hard but it has been a terrible start to the season. The squad is lacking is quality and investment – Coyle is lacking in support from his board. It`s a sad, sad, situation. We have improved ever so slightly of late but I fear for us this season.

WHAT WOULD REPRESENT A GOOD SEASON FOR BLACKBURN?

Staying up. Nothing else matters this season.

HOW HAS ROVERS` SEASON GONE SO FAR?

As stated above, terrible. The players are not lacking in effort but the squad is so severely lacking in quality. We`ve won two of our last three league games so that in itself is progress. Hopefully we muster up enough points to survive – starting with three at Birmingham tomorrow!

IF YOU COULD SIGN ONE BIRMINGHAM PLAYER FOR THE ROVERS SQUAD, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

All of them! Haha. If I had to pick one, without a shadow of a doubt it`d be your Dutch midfielder Maikel Kieftenbeld – some legs in the middle.

WHICH BLACKBURN PLAYER SHOULD BIRMINGHAM BE WARY OF?

Marvin Emnes has been playing well since signing. He can be dangerous on his day. And Shane Duffy is very good defender.

THE LAST TIME BLACKBURN ARRIVED AT ST. ANDREWS, THE GAME ENDED GOALLESS. WOULD YOU SETTLE FOR THAT THIS TIME ROUND?
Absolutely! A point would be a good afternoon`s work. Maybe we can nick a goal. Or am I being greedy?

WHAT IS YOUR PREDICTION FOR THE GAME?

I`m going for a goalless draw again! Come on Rovers!
