Newly appointed Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has started his spell in charge at Ewood Park with a credible 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Burton Albion at The Pirelli Stadium.
The new Rovers boss got off to the perfect start when Burton Albion midfielder Matty Palmer netted a first half own goal but Mowbray’s side were made to settle for a share of the spoils when troublesome striker Marvin Sordell levelled in the second half.
Rovers’ performance was a positive one with the Lancashire club dominating possession and recording more shots of goal than their opponents and after the match, fans took to Twitter to give their views on the result.
Let's keep the positivity going, we didn't lose! Keep backing Tony and the boys. But Venky's please sell up!! #BRFC #VenkysOut

The same 11 out as Coyle, don't know why I expected anything different. Hope Mowbray can have his own impact on the team come Derby #BRFC

Game of two halfs showed promise in the first half second half wasn't good enough strange decision to take emnes off for Joao #rovers

There are positives from that game, 1st half sounded very encouraging. If we can build & get better each game it gives us a chance. #Rovers

Given TM only has 2 days it sounds like he's made some headway. But the next three games at home are huge now… #Rovers
