'Fantastic': Lowe verdict on Forshaw goal

Blackburn caretaker manager David Lowe hailed Adam Forshaw's first goal for nearly nine years as "fantastic".

A month after signing from Plymouth, the veteran midfielder scored against the Pilgrims in Rovers' 2-0 win and Lowe said: "He was saying he hasn't scored many goals over the years but in fairness to him today he managed to get into the penalty area and it was a fantastic finish.

"I'm pleased for him because he's a terrific pro and has been really good since he's been at the club, setting good habits for the young players.

"It's been a hectic few days but the players have applied themselves brilliantly and I'm really pleased they gave a good show for the fans at Ewood [Park].

"We played some decent football in the first half without getting any reward, and second half the quick play and movement, in and out of possession, was really good. We were prepared to tackle and win second balls, and then to play football and score two quality goals."
