Key Transfers

IN

Ethan Walker / Free / Preston

The winger became Preston's youngest ever player when he made his debut at the age of 16 but couldn't kick on at Deepdale and will hope to revitalise his career at Ewood Park. 3/5

IN

Callum Brittain / Undisclosed / Barnsley

Rovers needed a new right-back and have landed a talented one in Brittain, who is an energetic and versatile defender that offers plenty going forward, completing the fourth most dribbles in the Championship last term. 4/5

IN

Tyler Morton / Loan / Liverpool

Liverpool think highly of the box-to-box midfielder who is at his best further up the pitch but also isn't afraid to get stuck in. Should spice up the Rovers midfield. 3/5

IN

Sammie Szmodics / Undiclosed / Peterborough

Rovers identified that they needed both more athleticism and another goal threat in the squad and attack-minded midfielder Szmodics fits both criteria. The 26-year-old struck seven times in the Championship for relegated Posh last season and could thrive in a more talented squad. 3/5.

Insights

1

No Championship side picked up more cards than Blackburn last season with Rovers receiving 107 yellows and five reds.

2

Ben Brereton Diaz scored his 20th goal of last season on December 29 but netted just twice in the remainder of the campaign.

3

Blackburn averaged 2.31 goals per home game before the turn of the year and 0.6 goals per home game afterwards.

4

Blackburn scored just three goals in their opening 13 league games of 2022.


Season Verdict

Our prediction for League finish: 12th

Blackburn fell off the promotion pace in the second half of last season and are hoping that a change of direction could be beneficial with Jon Dahl Tomasson replacing Tony Mowbray in the dugout. Mowbray did some excellent work at Ewood Park and will be tough to replace. Much depends on the extent of the board's backing for Tomasson, but a mid-table finish looks the most likely outcome.
