    BBC Final Score

    Sheffield Wednesday enduring their worst start to a season in 16 years and showing few signs of ending their winless streak so far.

    Freddie Ladapo has looked as bright as the orange Ipswich kit and has had the only chance of note, shooting straight at the keeper from point blank range.

    One of the mascots, Harley, predicted a 5-0 home win. Looks a long shot at this stage Harley...

    Big goal for Blackburn just as Boro were starting to feel their way into it.

    Sammie Szmodics took his chance brilliantly, taking a pass from Hayden Carter and firing beyond Seny Dieng.

    It was made even more poignant as it came during the applause for former PA announcer Matt Sillitoe, following his sad passing.

    No breakthrough yet for Blackburn, as Seny Dieng keeps Middlesbrough level with a crucial save.

    Callum Brittain released Sam Gallagher, and his centre tees up Lewis Travis but it's saved well by the Senegal man between the Boro sticks.
