Arte et Labore

Blackburn Rovers' point against Coventry City has put them within touching distance of Championship safety ahead of a huge midweek of games. Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred discuss that and plenty more on the latest episode of Arte et Labore podcast. Though there was disappointment after Bobby Thomas' late equaliser, Rovers extended their gap over the bottom three to five points after results over the weekend. It means they could wrap up survival with a win at Sheffield United and a favour elsewhere. That would give them 10 days to relax rather than sweat over a final-day showdown against Leicester City.

Blackburn Rovers Reporter Elliott Jackson reacts to a 3-0 defeat at St Mary's.

Blackburn Rovers' gap to the bottom three was cut from six points to four despite a point at Stoke City. Michael O'Neill's side remain five games unbeaten but results elsewhere mean a draw in the Potteries has seen their safety blanket cut down. Is it a point gained or two dropped at the weekend? Rovers are gearing up for a very difficult week, away at Southampton and at home to Coventry City. Can they cause more upsets against the big boys or will it be too much for a depleted squad? Plus an overall view of the relegation battle with Leicester City now four points adrift and West Brom facing a potential points deduction.

Blackburn Rovers reporter Elliott Jackson reacts to the 1-1 draw at Stoke City and what it means for the survival race

Blackburn Rovers had a fantastic Easter weekend and are now edging closer to Championship safety. Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred reflect on four points in the latest episode of Arte et Labore. A deserved win over Birmingham City was followed up by a useful draw against West Brom. Michael O'Neill gets the credit he deserves for this turnaround after 15 points from 10 games. Rovers have become harder to beat, even if the top end of the pitch is still an issue. With the teams around them failing to win, victory at Stoke City would all but confirm their Championship status for another season. They look at the trip to the Potteries as well as the fixture congestion coming up after the game against Southampton was rearranged.

Rovers Reporter Elliott Jackson breaks down a 1-1 draw at Ewood Park.

Blackburn Rovers came back down to Earth with a bump after successive defeats last week. Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred pick apart two bad results in the latest episode of Arte et Labore.
