Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has said that he is hoping that the time they are putting in to improving in front of goal will make perfect.
So far this season, Blackburn Rovers have not been particularly deadly in front of goal. Their start to the season sees them sit in 17th place after six games, scoring just five goals in the Championship along the way.
Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, manager Tony Mowbray has said that he is hoping that they can turn around their fortunes in front of goal, but insisted that it is important to balance between attack and defence. He said:
“The balance for us is to get that equilibrium of scoring goals and keeping clean sheets because if you find that you have a winning formula,” Mowbray explained.
“I try and drive principles into the team and have done for the two-and-a-half years since I walked in to the club.That’s how I’ve always coached teams, what to do when you lose the ball on the transition, what to do when you haven’t got it but then when you win it back what you do with the ball.
“You ingrain those things in teams over time. The difficulty for managers is that your team, over time, changes so you have to keep repeating the message.
“The players who’ve been here for that time are probably sick to death of my core messages but I have to repeat them for the new players and the team just keeps evolving.
“You get to a point where the older players who’ve been with you a long time can do your job for you when you’re not with them in the dressing room.”
