'Rovers will be wondering how they got beat'

[Getty Images] Former Blackburn Rovers striker Kevin Gallagher thinks Rovers fans will be pleased with their showing in the Lancashire derby against Preston on Saturday, but small margins decided an unwanted outcome. Preston were leading from the ninth minute thanks to a goal from Callum Lang, who went on to to double his lead in the first half, and Rovers were only able to peg it back to 2-1 via an own goal from Stan Mills in the second. "Blackburn fans will go home happy, but they will be going, 'How did we get beat today?,'" Gallagher said. "For the first nine minutes, Blackburn were banging at the door, and you're thinking, 'What could happen to this game if Blackburn get a goal?' But just as you say that, Preston gets it. "Take the goal back further into midfield because that's where the battle was. Todd Cantwell has gone up for a header, but he's ducked underneath it. Didn't want to head it, and unfortunately then, Preston win possession." Listen to the full post-match reaction below or on BBC Sounds here . [BBC] Latest Blackburn Rovers news, analysis and fan views
