Marked for Nicholas Michalski

From our football correspondent Crisis

The dugout

Scott Wharton keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Blackburn Rovers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

4 matches without a win for Blackburn Rovers

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Blackburn Rovers are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Real improvement from Nicholas Michalski at Blackburn Rovers

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Nicholas Michalski is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Lautaro Taboada in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Blackburn Rovers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Blackburn Rovers against Coventry City

0‑1 to Coventry City, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Andy Rinomhota reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Player ratings

Oladapo Afolayan was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Loan watch

Felix Goddard has seen enough of Cambridge United

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Blackburn Rovers, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout

Luke Ellis answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

In brief
