BLACKBURN ROVERS<br />
OPPOSITION<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
O P P O S I T I O N O V E R V I E W<br />
ONE of the founding members of the Football League,<br />
<strong>Blackburn</strong> <strong>Rovers</strong> have a rich and proud history, with the<br />
glory days returning to Ewood <strong>Park</strong> during the mid-90s<br />
with a Premier League title.<br />
A string of accolades from the late 1800s and early 1900s ensures that<br />
<strong>Blackburn</strong>’s name will forever be etched into footballing history, but<br />
with their last honours coming in 2002 in the form of the League Cup,<br />
the wait for success has now stretched to 19 years.<br />
Relegated from the Premier League in 2012, <strong>Rovers</strong> have had to<br />
press the rebuild button, with current boss Tony Mowbray pulling the<br />
Lancashire outfit out of League One before establishing themselves<br />
back in the Championship.<br />
The departure of frontman Adam Armstrong may have dampened the<br />
expectations of the <strong>Blackburn</strong> faithful this term, but <strong>Rovers</strong> have made<br />
a steady start to the new campaign, enjoying victories over Swansea<br />
City, Nottingham Forest, Hull City and Cardiff City to date.<br />
