Former City Boss Fails To Get Off To A Winning Start
Former Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray managed Blackburn Rovers for the first time tonight.
Mowbray took charge of the team for the Championship game away to Burton Albion and saw his side take the lead through a 31st minute Palmer own goal.
However, a stunning goal from former Coventry City striker Marvin Sordell whom Mowbray signed for the Sky Blues back in the summer, in the 54th minute saw Mowbray's side having to settle for a share of the points.
Mowbray told the BBC: "My dressing room is sitting there disappointed that they haven't taken three points.
"We probably deserved more than a one-goal lead at half-time with the efforts that we had and the territorial advantage in the first half.
"I think you have to give credit to Nigel Clough for changing his [team's] shape, changing the direction of the football match.
"We got a grip of it in the last 20 minutes and I thought if anyone was going to win it then it was going to be us. Then they nearly scored right at the death, hitting both posts. It would have been an injustice if we hadn't taken something from this game."
