Rovers Robbed at Wolves? Tóth to Celtic & Boro Preview

The Championship is back — and Blackburn Rovers have already given us plenty to talk about.

Tony Mowbray's side produced a brave and hugely encouraging performance at Molineux, coming agonisingly close to beating recently-relegated Wolves before a controversial late penalty turned three points into one.

Was it actually a penalty? Was the contact even inside the box? And, crucially, could the referee possibly have been certain enough from his position to give it?

Mike Beaty and Mark Hitchen look back at Wolves 2-2 Blackburn Rovers, the penalty controversy and a performance that might have caused a few people to rethink those preseason relegation predictions.

We also discuss the increasingly obvious impact Tony Mowbray is already having on this team — and why the performance at Wolves only strengthens the argument that he needs to be backed.

Then there's the extraordinary situation surrounding Balázs Tóth and Celtic.

Mowbray revealed that agents contacted him at 10:45pm on Thursday — the NIGHT BEFORE the Wolves game — telling him he might need another goalkeeper because Tóth could be sold.

Why was the Head Coach hearing this from agents? Should Rovers cash in if Tóth won't sign a new contract? And what do Mowbray's brilliantly sarcastic comments tell us about communication inside Blackburn Rovers?

Then attention turns to Ewood Park.

🔴 Middlesbrough are next.

Can Rovers reproduce that performance at home and turn an encouraging opening-night draw into their first Championship win of the season?

Plus, Rovers have drawn Sheffield United at home in the Carabao Cup, with the Riverside and Jack Walker Upper set to be closed for the tie following the recent debate around matchday ticket pricing.
