Blackburn manager Owen Coyle said:
"I felt overall we were the better side. We knew they would have possession, but that being said, we have created eight, I would suggest, gilt-edge chances. I'm talking about ones that should be in the back of the net.
"As well as we played, we have to be clinical at one end and at the other. I know we're decimated with centre-backs missing, but we've got to make sure we don't give up the goals and the softness of them, that we did today.
"It's hard to take, we've given everything, but we have got to tidy up on individual errors."
