Ismael wants more from Rovers in attack

Valerien Ismael's Blackburn finished in seventh in the Championship last term

Valerien Ismael wants more from his Blackburn Rovers attackers after they lost their opening game at West Bromwich Albion.

Isaac Price's early goal was all that separated the sides at The Hawthorns, yet Rovers only forced Albion goalkeeper Josh Griffiths into one save in the whole match.

So Ismael knows that must change as the Championship season kicks into gear.

"From the performance, it was a good away game from us," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We had a lot of new faces, the players arrived this week, it was a little bit hectic and chaotic.

"But I think throughout the 90 minutes we were really solid.

"What we have to work on is our work in the final third - we should be doing better with the last cross, the last pass. We didn't really test the goalkeeper, so we must shoot more on target."
