Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer is keen for his side to earn their first victory of the season this evening when they take on Cardiff City.
Rovers earned their first point at the weekend with a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield Town in a game which Bowyer sees as 'something to build on'. Blackburn fell behind in the 10th minute to Nakhi Wells's goal but managed to pull it back when Nathan Delfouneso scored his first for the club. Bowyer says the former the Aston Villa forward has 'settled in well' since his arrival on free following his release from Blackpool.
In Saturday's draw Jordan Rhodes, who had been linked with a move to Middlesbrough, injured his ankle and is doubtful. Although he may come off from the bench as Bowyer intends to give every chance to play.
Modou Barrow, a recent loan signing from Swansea City, is set to start again. As is Craig Conway, who spent three seasons at Cardiff City earlier in his career.
"Slowly coming together"
Conway believes it is 'slowly coming together' for Blackburn and is keen to start well to get the fans behind the team.
Opponents Cardiff City have drew their opening two games after scoring late equalisers in both. On the opening weekend against Fulham, Craig Noone scored an excellent long-range goal in the 86th minute and against QPR, Sean Morrison and Scott Malone scored as Cardiff came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2.
For the game Noone could be set to set to take his starting place back ahead of either Joe Ralls or Anthony Pilkington.
In pre-match press conference Bowyer described Cardiff as having 'Premier League players' and reiterated Blackburn need to 'build on Saturday's second half performance'.
Blackburn are expected to really go for the jugular in this game with Bowyer keen for his side to 'come out of the traps fast'.
