'I'm concerned about result, not the performance'

Blackburn Rovers boss Valerien Ismael told BBC Radio Lancashire he was concerned about the lack of chances they put away in their Championship defeat by Sheffield United, but is more concerned with the result.

Ismael's side dropped to second from bottom of the table as they were defeated by the Blades despite taking the lead in the first half.

"I'm concerned about the result, not about the performance. It was another great performance. The only thing that would concern me is, again, we gave away too many chances. I don't know how many chances we need to score more goals," Ismael said.

"We scored the first goal and in the second half we began on the front foot and all of a sudden, from a set piece, Sheffield United were back in the game.

"For us, at the minute the confidence is very difficult.

"We did a lot and put a lot of energy into the game, we were on the front foot and comfortable with the ball but we lost the game again."
