GUTSY ROVERS CAN GET OUT OF TROUBLE

-

BRIGHTON & Hove Albion are back to winning ways and with seven games left and a possible 21 points up for grabs, it looks like this could finally be the Seagulls’ season. And with Huddersfie­ld losing late to Burton Albion they have a ninepoint cushion over the Yorkshire side.

Blackburn can still get themselves out of the relegation zone as they showed promise against a good Brighton team. This was Tony Mowbray’s first loss as Blackburn manager and the former Coventry boss has certainly turned the club’s fortunes around – they had won two and drawn five of their previous seven matches.

And if they put in performanc­es like this for the next seven games then they should be able to pull themselves out of trouble.

Despite not adding to his 13 goals this season Anthony Knockaert’s assist and a man-of-thematch performanc­e will certainly not go unnoticed as his bid for Championsh­ip Player of the Year gathers pace.
