Rovers interim boss Lowe 'enjoying' time in charge

David Lowe was put in temporary charge at Ewood Park following John Eustace's move to Derby

Blackburn Rovers interim boss David Lowe has said he is enjoying his time in temporary charge of the club.

The 59-year-old took over as caretaker manager following John Eustace's departure to Derby County and has picked up two wins from his opening two matches at the helm.

"I've been surrounded by some fantastic people, fantastic players and my family's been very supportive so I've really enjoyed it," Lowe told BBC Radio Lancashire.

It's over 16 years since Lowe was last a caretaker boss - his one-match spell as Derby interim boss saw the Rams beat Manchester United 1-0 in the League Cup semi-final first-leg in January 2009.

And Lowe has been impressed by his current squad's efforts so far as they attempt to hold on to a place in the Championship play-offs.

"They've all respected the staff that have come in to help them out and they've been a credit to the profession. I've got nothing but respect for them," he said.

Lowe also confirmed that central defender Danny Batth remains unavailable for Rovers' trip to Swansea City on Saturday with a hamstring injury.
