Tony Mowbray Needs Backing | Wolves v Blackburn Season Preview

🚨 THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS BACK! 🚨

Blackburn Rovers kick off their 2026/27 Championship campaign under the Friday night lights at Molineux against recently-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers.

But does Tony Mowbray have the squad he needs?

Mike Beaty and Mark Hitchen look ahead to Wolves v Blackburn Rovers, after Rovers came from behind to beat Burton Albion 2-1 in the Carabao Cup.

In only a few weeks, Mowbray has taken a team that barely looked like scoring and got them creating genuine golden chances.

The problem? He can't finish them himself.

We discuss Mowbray's early impact, his trip to Switzerland alongside Steve Curwood and Suhail Shaikh to meet the owners, and whether Blackburn will now give their Head Coach the backing he needs.

There's also the prospect of former Ipswich Town midfielder Sam Morsy arriving on a free transfer. Would his experience immediately improve Rovers' midfield — and what does another free-agent signing say about the backing available to Mowbray?
