Blackburn kept a clean sheet for the third game in a row, grinding out a 0‑0 stalemate against fellow relegation rivals West Brom at Ewood Park. Both sides knew a victory would swing the battle for survival, especially after Portsmouth and Oxford also settled for draws earlier in the round on Saturday today.

West Brom looked the more adventurous in the opening half, with Danny Imray delivering a low cross to Isaac Price in the seventh minute, only for the striker to whiff from twelve yards. A few minutes later Josh Maja’s header was cushioned by Heggebo, whose reflex save was followed by Balazs Toth’s fingertip deflection onto the crossbar, sparking roars from the 7,500‑strong away crowd.

Blackburn responded after the break, reshaping their formation as Michael O’Neill introduced a 4‑4‑2 setup. Max O’Leary’s punch fell to Moussa Baradji, whose half‑volley drifted over the bar, while Mathias Jorgensen’s effort was blocked by Ousmane Diakite. Late pressure saw Dapo Afolayan’s glancing header drift wide, leaving the scores unchanged.

Neil’s Blackburn now sit six points clear of the relegation zone, extending an unbeaten run to four games with just one goal conceded. Morrison’s Baggies matched a six‑match unbeaten streak, remaining four points above the bottom three. The goalless draw keeps both clubs within striking distance of safety as the campaign enters its final phase.
