    Other than Jordan Rhodes you wonder where the Blackburn goals are going to come from consistently. Without Rhodes they have got technically very good players but where is the killer instinct?

    One for Rovers boss Paul Lambert to consider with the January transfer window just around the corner.

    More joy for Bolton winger Liam Feeney down the right. 

    His deep cross finds Gary Madine at the back post and he nods it back into the six yard box, but no one reads his cushioned header and Blackburn clear.

    The neutral will be watching this game which is live on television and asking 'why are Bolton bottom of the league?' They've been so much improved so far.

    You can't argue with 'Super' John McGinlay.

    Bolton have played with some real purpose so far this afternoon, with Zach Clough hitting the post and then Gary Madine's follow up their best efforts so far.

    Danny Guthrie will be disappointed with his strike here.

    Bolton fail to clear a corner twice and the ball falls kindly to the midfielder but his rasping shot flies over the bar from about 10 yards out.

    We also have an early kick-off in League One today, with Southend hosting Milllwall.

    With just over 10 minutes gone at Roots Hall it remains goalless.

    End to end stuff right now, with both teams looking dangerous on the counter attack. 

    First Bolton's Liam Feeney has a dart down the right but his stood up cross is just over everyone. From the throw out, Craig Conway races up the pitch but is tackled as he reaches the edge of the area.

    Bolton now with some defending to do of their own. 

    A succession of Blackburn crosses come in at David Wheater, who booms a couple of headers away.

    Liam Feeney's delivery is towards Rob Holding but Blackburn's defence holds out to clear.

    It's been a much improved performance so far from Neil Lennon's side.

  9. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 17 mins

    A driving run from Darren Pratley sets Bolton up for another attack.

    Josh Vela's strike from way out is deflected and the corner will allow some more Wanderers pressure...

  10. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 15 mins

    Young right-back Rob Holding as a big throw on him and he throw a couple down the down the touchline before appeals for handball inside the Blackburn box.

    Gary Madine fouled though and Rovers have a free-kick.

  11. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 12 mins

    Blackburn now just taking the sting out of the recent Bolton pressure and have enjoyed a good bit of possession.

    Ben Marshall has another go from outside the box but slices across it horribly and it's no way near testing Ben Amos.

    Bolton are not playing like a team sat rooted to the bottom of the Championship.

    There's lots of energy and purpose in this performance, Liam Feeney fizzing in a cross low now the latest of the attacks.

    How they haven't scored there I don't know. Zach Clough does so well to get across his man and hits the post and then Gary Madine can't sort his feet out. He should be scoring there. Bolton should be 1-0 up.

    How have Bolton not scored here?!

    A brilliant cross from Dean Moxey finds a stretching Zach Clough whose effort hits the post. 

    It comes out to Gary Madine who takes a touch and scuffs a shot which is cleared off the line by Marcus Olsson.

    Nothing bothering with that corner.

    As it's cleared, Shane Duffy clatters through the back of Gary Madine and Bolton have a free-kick just inside the Blackburn half.

    All Rovers at the minute. 

    Good link-up play between Ben Marshall and Marcus Olsson sees the Swedish full-back deliver to the far post but Bolton head it out for a corner...

  17. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 4 mins

    First effort of the match and it goes to Blackburn.

    A good bit of skill from Ben Marshall but the winger's drive from outside the box is a couple of yards over the bar.

  18. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 3 mins

    First chance for Liam Feeney to run at the Blackburn defence and he carries the ball well to the right wing position but his cross is poor.

  19. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 2 mins

    Nothing to report in the opening exchanges with some neat passing from either side in the middle.

    The pitch has the look of beginning to turn in the winter months with one or two slightly bare patches.

    After a smiling handshake between former Celtic team-mates Neil Lennon and Paul Lambert, we are under way in Bolton as the visitors get us going.
