EWOOD NARKED

Failure to beat Saints will mark Rovers' worst start in 150 years

POUR AT HOME Rovers have yet to win at Ewood Park this season after rain denied them a likely victory over Ipswich

UNDER-PRESSURE boss Valerien Ismael admits he is a worried man as he bids to avoid the record books for all the wrong reasons.

Second-bottom Blackburn Rovers will post the worst start to a season in their proud 150-year history if they fail to beat Southampton.

Only once in their history has it taken Blackburn until a sixth game to win their first home match of a season.

A draw or defeat will mean it is the first time they have ever gone six games at the start of the season without registering a home win.
