too late.Blackburn lost out in a Lancashire derby, losing 2-1, in
their last away game to Bolton. Muamba got the hom team the lead on 65
minutes and the Ewood Park squad got an immediate equaliser through M
Diouff, but that was the last bit of good news for the Rovers who
failed to capitalise on a 10-man Bolton in the last half-hour, after
Mark Davies was sent off. In the event, Holden struck the winning goal
for the home team on 89 minutes and shut the door on Blackburn.Rovers
disappointed on the day, with patches of dominance in the second third
of the match. Barring a brilliant performance by Roberts, the
score-line could have been worse. Roberts who missed a scoring
opportunity in the first 60 seconds of the game had a hand in Diouff's
equaliser. Another scoring chance was missed when Roberts ran through
off a pass from Jones only to run into Zat Knight who won the
tackle.In 12 league games between the sides, Blackburn have
