Boro looking to put an end to dismal run v Blackburn

Boro have not had any joy against tomorrow's visitors since a 1-0 home victory back in February 2005. In fact in three home games since then, against Rovers, Boro have failed to score.

In total there have been five straight defeats (four in the League, one in the League Cup). In this run Blackburn have scored nine against the Teessiders three. Viduka, Rochemback and a Yakubu penalty were the three strikes.
