Not the right time to be angry - Ismael

Blackburn Rovers boss Valerien Ismael will not get angry with his players despite Saturday's 3-0 loss at Charlton making it four defeats from their opening six Championship matches.

The reverse at The Valley came two days after the EFL ordered Rovers' abandoned game with Ipswich to be replayed in full even though Ismael's side were leading 1-0 against 10 men with 10 minutes remaining.

"It was the first time we were not really present in the way we play, especially with the ball, we lost the ball too easily," the Frenchman told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"Maybe the decision in midweek affected the players at some point because I was really missing something.

"But we are focused on the next game - at the minute it's not the right time to put massive pressure on the players and to be angry, it's still a process and a transition and we still have players who have just arrived at the club."

Blackburn are assessing a foot injury to right-back Ryan Alebiosu which forced him off at half-time against Charlton before confirming their squad to face Swansea on Tuesday.

"We'll have an assessment this afternoon (Monday) and we will take the final decision. So we'll have to wait now to see if his participation is in danger or not," Ismael added.

"It won't be something long for sure. It's just because the game is coming so soon. I think if the next game had been next Saturday there wouldn't be any problem."

Rovers continue to be without defender Hayden Carter as well as midfielders Moussa Baradji and Jake Garrett.
