Blackburn 1-0 Bolton

Blackburn cannot field ineligible loanees Alex Baptiste and Jay Spearing against their parent club when Bolton visit in the Championship on Wednesday.

Jason Lowe (foot) and Shane Duffy (knee) are out, while Grant Hanley (calf), Josh King (hamstring) and David Dunn (calf) will all be assessed.

Bolton will include new loan signings Giles Coke and Paddy McCarthy.

Emile Heskey (calf) and Craig Davies (hamstring) should be fit along with goalkeeper Andy Lonergan (concussion).

Head-to-head

Bolton won the earlier meeting this season 2-1 at the Macron Stadium on Boxing Day. The Trotters have won six of the last seven meetings, losing the other. Blackburn's only win since 2011 was 4-1 at Ewood Park in August last season. Blackburn have lost two of the last three meetings at Ewood Park, winning the most recent one.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn won their last league game 2-1 at Sheffield Wednesday on 4 March - their first win in five games in the Championship. Gary Bowyer's side lost their last home game 2-1 against Norwich on 24 February - their first defeat in six games at Ewood Park in all competitions.

Bolton Wanderers

Bolton have won only one of their last five games. Their only win since mid-February was 1-0 against Brighton at home on 28 February. Neil Lennon's men have not won any of their last five away games in all competitions, losing the last four. Their last win on the road was 2-1 at Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on 17 January.

Just showed the goal on ssn. How can you not be marking Jordan Rhodes? Pathetic defending.

5 away defeats on the trot. Bolton officially useless away from home. Comment from friend at the game. "Cravies the culprit. Clear one on one with keeper scuffed. McCarthy good enough. Not coke journeyman at best". Must win game v Millwall on sat. Plenty of games coming up we will get nothing from, Ipswich a, Cardiff a, Norwich h, Brentford a, Bournemouth a. Hope we can scrape enough points from Millwall, Wigan, Blackpool, charlton, Birmingham to avoid being sucked into the bottom 3. We are in trouble if Millwall or Wigan string a few wins together.

Reviewing last night after the event I blame Benny.

Who was it made a comment about conceding late goals just before it happened ?
I still believe we will get it together and have a good shot next term. Perhaps the board need to fully understand the trail of destruction left behind by a long list of failed managers. Stick behind one for the long haul repairing that and the finances.

Benny on his classic doomsday predictions!

Careful Clegg
You had me picturing The Log Lady from Twin Peaks with that one.
So now when anybody mentions Benny we all know what I shall be picturing. A bit like Reggie Perin and the mother in law Hippo

Have we left it too late to equalise?

It's never too late to equalise.

Also notice Zat Knight has signed for those nasty cloggers at Reading. Could've joined before we played them.

Perhaps we should have let the loaned out players have a game for them. At least a goal start for us we may have got something.

I think Blackburn are going to hold out now.
Bstards.
