Blackburn Rovers manager Valerien Ismael expressed disappointment with his team's finishing in their recent 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday.

Despite the attacking frustrations, the result allowed Blackburn to extend their lead over the relegation zone to five points.
Ismael acknowledged the team's solid defensive performance, noting three consecutive clean sheets, but stressed the need for improvement in the final third. He hopes to strengthen the squad during the upcoming January transfer window to address these issues.

Manager Henrik Pedersen praised his team's effort and resilience, highlighting the performance as a positive "culture point" despite their precarious league position. Both sides are preparing for their next fixtures, with Blackburn hosting Wrexham and Wednesday looking to build on their recent point.
