Blackburn manager Tony Mowbraysaid:
"In all areas of the pitch we were good today. I think defensively we looked pretty strong, I think we've got a real determination about trying to keep clean sheets at the moment.
"Do we look like we can score goals when we win the ball back and break away? Yes. I think any team that carries the threat we carry and is looking as solid as we look at the moment is going to win games.
(On being third) "It means nothing really, because we are only halfway into the season but it's still important, when you hope to win games and you try to win games, that you can actually do that."
