Eustace Addresses Media: Brittain and Cantwell Back for Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers are scheduled to play Millwall away on Saturday afternoon at 15:00 GMT, with the objective of extending their notable winning streak in the Championship to seven consecutive matches. The following are the main takeaways from head coach John Eustace’s pre-match press conference: Defender Callum Brittain is once more available for selection, having been absent from the last two fixtures due to illness. Concurrently, midfielder Todd Cantwell rejoins the squad after completing a one-match suspension. Addressing the consistent performance levels despite frequent alterations to the team’s line-up, Eustace commented: “It just shows the competition the boys are bringing every day in training. Training is very intense, everyone is trying to get in the team. The standard is really high.” Eustace maintains his expectation that the match will be “a really difficult game,” notwithstanding Neil Harris’ exit and David Livermore’s temporary leadership of the Lions. He stated: “Their players will be very up for the game. He [Livermore] will get them very well prepared. He’s a great coach and he’s been at the club a long time, so it’s going to be a really difficult game for us and one we’re really looking forward to.” When questioned about whether links to other managerial roles influenced him, Eustace replied: “No not at all. It’s full credit to the players, they’re playing some fantastic football. My job is to develop the players and make us successful. I said I wanted to come here and build and make something special and that’s what I want to do.”
