Blackburn are a proper funky team numbers wise. Overall excellent data esp attacking wise but dive in & story is muddled. #Rovers have been trailing in games more than they have winning. Only scored 1st in 11 from 28 games (39%) which is approx 18th rank in league.
Yet to lose a game when they score 1st (10-1-0 record). The issue is when teams score 1st against Rovers. 15 times they've conceded 1st goal. Only 1 win when that's happened despite creating ALOT.
Not sure where blame lies in that. To put it into sharp context Rovers are a team who win 2.83 pts if they score 1st and only 0.4 when the opponent does. Not enough big moments going Rovers way. Probably shown best by 8/11 defeats coming by 1 goal.
This team just isn't sturdy enough to give themselves chances to win games of football consistently.

Great example on goal here. Just look at individual decision making. Their defensive structure at times is impossible.
