'Brittain and Cantwell back' - Eustace faces media
- Published
Blackburn Rovers travel to Millwall looking to extend their impressive winning run in the Championship to seven games on Saturday afternoon (15:00 GMT).
Here are the key points from head coach John Eustace's pre-match press conference:
Defender Callum Brittain is available again after missing the past two games with illness, while midfielder Todd Cantwell returns following a one-match suspension.
On there being no drop-off in performances despite regular changes to the line-up: "It just shows the competition the boys are bringing every day in training. Training is very intense, everyone is trying to get in the team. The standard is really high."
Eustace still expects it to be "a really difficult game", even after Neil Harris' departure, with David Livermore in temporary charge for the Lions. He said: "Their players will be very up for the game. He [Livermore] will get them very well prepared. He's a great coach and he's been at the club a long time, so it's going to be a really difficult game for us and one we're really looking forward to."
On whether being linked to other managerial jobs changes anything for him: "No not at all. It's full credit to the players, they're playing some fantastic football. My job is to develop the players and make us successful. I said I wanted to come here and build and make something special and that's what I want to do."
