Hughes rues Rovers defeat

Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes claimed Sunday's 1-0 home defeat to West Ham United was the result of a bad day at the office.
Rovers lost to a 53rd minute Dean Ashton strike at Ewood Park and a previously in-form Rovers have now won just two of their last six matches.
"It wasn't a great day in the office, we are disappointed that we have lost the game," said Hughes.
"We had opportunities to win, clear-cut opportunities that on another day would have been taken.
"I've not really had an issue with our performances in the games we haven't won prior to today.
"But today was the one time our performance level was nowhere near the level it needed to be, certainly in the first half when we didn't create anything.
"But then we have to understand teams come here now and recognise the threat we pose and try to do something about it.
"Their game-plan worked well and they've good power and pace in forward areas."
