WATCH: Shane Duffy picked a bad time to have his worst moment for Blackburn

Unfortunate

Patrick McCarry

Blackburn’s 2016/17 season has been Hyde, Jekyll and Hyde so far.

Owen Coyle’s side may have beaten Mansfield 4-1 in the cup, during the week, but their Championship campaign is off to a bad start.

Rovers are winless after two games and looked worryingly poor for long spells in their 3-0 loss to Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.

After conceding goals to Will Grigg and Nick Powell, Shane Duffy got himself into a muddle in trying to deal with a whipped cross from Max Power. It was almost funny to watch, if you were not a Rovers or Ireland fan.

Duffy found the target for Rovers during the week but this was a less than assured outing.

It is not what he needs, especially with Premier League sides, and Celtic, looking at him closely.
