Rovers 0 City 0

[Alan75]

After Saturday's 0 - 0 draw against City at Ewood, when both teams cancelled each other out, in what appeared to be an end of season game with nothing to play for, Mark Hughes is quoted as saying.

"It was a bit of a struggle for both teams. The conditions did not lend themselves to flowing football.

"We never looked in any danger of losing. We felt we had the better of the chances and play but couldn't get the breakthrough we deserved.

"City were well organised. They kept their shape and got men behind the ball and made things difficult for us."
