Blackburn Rovers are safe in midtable in the Championship.
Blackburn Rovers boss Tony Mowbray has suggested he may experiment towards the season end with youngsters Tyler Magloire and Dan Butterworth likely to be involved, the Lancashire Telegraph reports.
“They [Tyler Magloire and Dan Butterworth] are highly talented and will be big assets for our football club. Maybe even before this season is out you might see them on the grass, depending on how our points total goals,” Mowbray explained.
“Let’s win three or four more games, see where we are, where it leaves us, and see whether we can put the kids in the team and start and develop them for next year.”
Blackburn are comfortably in mid-table in the Championship, nine points adrift of the play-off positions and 14 points clear of the drop as we enter the final months of the season.
It has been a decent campaign for Rovers following their promotion from League One, but their form of late has dropped off with seven defeats in their last 12 league encounters.
Mowbray’s comments suggests he would likely his side to consolidate their mid-table position before looking ahead to next season, and several young players at Ewood Park could benefit.
Butterworth has first-team experience having featured in the Carabao Cup, while he made the squad for the FA Cup encounter with Newcastle United although he has yet to feature in the league.
Magloire is the current captain of Blackburn’s U23 side and the defender has a bright future ahead of him.
Fellow youngsters such as Harry Chapman and Ben Brereton will also be looking for a chance to make their mark in the first-team, with both players having the potential to become key players for the club.
