NO GREAT ESCAPE? |
| 6/4 |
Blackburn are 6/4 with William Hill to be relegated this season. |
"We've got to take all the positives out of the first 80 minutes. We've got to set that standard.
"We were playing against the potential champions," the 44-year-old added. "I think for 80 minutes we gave it a really good go. Their goalkeeper has had a very good night. He's made good saves when we've had our little opportunities.
"I thought (Junior) Hoilett and Yakubu caused them problems."
Blackburn's next game is against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday when they will be hoping they can climb back out of the relegation zone.
