David Button

Didn’t have an awful lot to do in the game, with Blackburn taking their two chances. Could possibly have done better with the opener.

Quiet day 6

Darnell Furlong

Difficult afternoon for the full-back. Got forward a few times in the first period but his delivery was wasteful, and he missed a good early opening.

Wasteful 5

Semi Ajayi

After his superb display on Monday it was a tough afternoon for Ajayi. Let Diaz turn far too easily for the goal.

Tough going 5

Dara O’Shea

Drove out from the back and tried to get Albion going at two down, but like Ajayi will be disappointed with the goals conceded.

Disappointed 6

Conor Townsend

Didn’t replicate Monday’s display. Caught in possession a couple of times and struggled to get forward.

Quiet 6

Jayson Molumby

A relatively quiet afternoon and will be disappointed with how easily Blackburn cut through Albion for the opener. Subbed as Albion chased the game.

Not effective 5

JAke Livermore

Poor in possession on a couple of occasions and was also caught of possession. Like Molumby, could have maybe done more to thwart the move that led to the opener.

Sloppy 5

Jed Wallace

One of the bright sparks for Albion. Again, produced a couple of superb crosses but lost possession in good positions in the second period.

Bright 7

John Swift

Uncharacteristically poor afternoon going forward for the playmaker. Kept trying to make things happen but just couldn’t produce that spark.

No spark 5

Grady Diangana

Looked good again on the left, took on defenders and had a good chance in the first half before netting in the second. Improved this season.

On target 7

Karlan Grant

Struggled up top on his own for most of the afternoon. Had one big chance but hit straight at the keeper.

Struggled 5
