Mark Jackson gave his thoughts after his side were comfortably beaten away at Blackburn Rovers, whilst in Premier League 2 action.

The Whites were a goal behind just moments into the match and never worked their way back, seeing Rovers run out four-goal winners at the Leyland County Ground.

Speaking after the match, Jackson shared his views on the defeat.

He said: “Sometimes you can come away from games and defeats with positives but I am struggling to think of any.

“It’s surprising, because leading into the game on the back of two wins we felt like we were in good spirits, we had good momentum.

"We had more experienced players coming back into the team and everything was pointing towards us being really competitive tonight in a really important game.

"We got off to a bad start, which happens, but you can't let one goal ruin the rest of the game but we just didn't get a foothold.

"They were on the front foot and more aggressive. We didn't handle that. We know we have to be on the front foot but collectively we didn't do it tonight.”
