O'Neill focused on vital home game
TL;DR
Blackburn boss Michael O'Neill is focusing on an important home match against Championship leaders Coventry after a 3-0 loss to Southampton. The team is currently four points above the relegation zone despite recent injury challenges.
Blackburn boss Michael O'Neill immediately turned his attention to Friday's vital home match against Championship leaders Coventry following the 3-0 defeat at Southampton.
Rovers are four points above the relegation zone so have some breathing space, largely because of a five-match unbeaten run prior to their trip to play the in-form Saints.
They have been beset by injuries and O'Neill made five changes for the second of his side's three matches in the space of six days.
"Listen, the game's gone - we just move on to Friday," O'Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"We're getting through the games and the squad is very challenged in terms of numbers, with a lot of players who aren't with us at this minute in time.
"We could do with them being back for us. But the players we are putting out there are doing everything. Their attitude is first class, their commitment is first class, and that's all we can ask.
"We met a very good side in the best form. We knew it would be a tough game and it proved to be the case.
"In the second half we played well but the second goal just before half-time was a real killer."
