  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    Blackburn 0-1 Luton

    Blackburn now make two alterations.

    Callum Brittain and Harry Leonard are thrown into the fray as Lewis Travis and Harry Pickering are withdrawn.

    That early miss from Pickering has proved to be so crucial.

    Luton have been a different animal this second half - a much better team.

    This has been one of Blackburn's poorest second halves I've seen in months.

    Tensions running high between Blackburn skipper Lewis Travis and Luton player Luke Berry as they exchange words.

    The grimace on Travis' face and the smile on Berry's pretty much reflects the mood right now.

    Blackburn 0-1 Luton

    A second double change from Rob Edwards for Luton.

    Leading scorer Carlton Morris and Marvelous Nakamba make way for Allan Campbell and Luke Freeman.

    A smile from Edwards suggests he's pleased with what he has seen from his players, especially in this half.

    Blackburn 0-1 Luton

    Nearly a second goal from a Luton centre-half!

    Carlton Morris keeps alive a free-kick with a header across for Sonny Bradley, whose header comes back off the bar.

    So close to game over as far as Blackburn are concerned.

    Few complaints about this one as Dominic Hyam obstructs Elijah Adebayo after the Luton striker knocked the ball past him.

    Blackburn's short corner is not well received by the home fans.

    When they do toss the ball into the box, Ethan Horvath is out to catch it comfortably.

    Blackburn just need something to happen.

    Nothing is happening at the minute, Luton have a grip on the ball, and they are happy with the comfort of 1-0.

    Rovers are chasing.

    Luton boss Rob Edwards spoke before the game about wanting to maintain his side's momentum ahead of the play-offs.

    His players have been true to his word. They are on a 12-game unbeaten run and they won't want to give that up.

    Another Blackburn hard luck story.

    Joe Rankin-Costello's strike from inside the box is goalbound, until it hits ex-Blackburn defender Amari'i Bell and flies just past the post and out for a corner.

    Blackburn 0-1 Luton

    With Ben Brereton Diaz and now Bradley Dack on the pitch, Blackburn have players who can produce something special.

    But there is only so often you can keep saying that. It's time to deliver.

    Blackburn 0-1 Luton

    Blackburn last won on 15 March. That is the definition of losing form at the business end of the season.

    Since going behind, they have begun to look like a side without a win for nearly two months.

    Barnes: It's ironic that with everything that happened in January, not signing a striker when we were dying for one has single-handedly been the biggest failing of the season.

    Blackburn have not come back to win a league game all season. That really has to change in this last half an hour or so.

    But they need goalkeeper Aynsley Pears to beat away a shot from Elijah Adebayo as Luton threaten a second.

    Blackburn have got loads of time to get back into this game.

    But at the moment it's Luton who are asking all of the questions.

    A double roll of the dice from Jon Dahl Tomasson.

    On come Bradley Dack and Sorba Thomas. Off go Tyrhys Dolan and Ryan Hedges.

    Rovers have to score at least once, but they really need two if possible.

    Luton now showing why they are third in the Championship.

    On the front foot and driving forward.

    A deserved goal for the Hatters.

    Tom Lockyer

    It's another magic Monday goal for Tom Lockyer!

    Seven days ago, he popped up with one against Middlesbrough and he's now come up with a potentially disastrous one as far as Blackburn are concerned.

    Excellent work from Calrton Morris as he keeps the ball alive from a corner and delivers a sensational left-foot cross back into the danger zone.

    Lockyer throws himself at it and gets the decisive touch to head past Aynsley Pears.
