Blackburn Rovers have secured their Championship status for another season, with head coach Michael O'Neill expressing disappointment with their performance in a recent game. The team had numerous chances but failed to score, and were punished with a scrappy goal from a corner. O'Neill praised goalkeeper Balazs Toth, saying he has been top-class from the moment he arrived at the club. Blackburn Rovers could complete their first league double over Leicester City since 1990-91, with both of Leicester's past two league meetings with Blackburn ending in 2-0 defeats. The team has only lost their final league match in one of the past 13 seasons, and will be looking to build on this success in the future. The club has also been mourning the loss of Tony Parkes, a beloved son of the club who passed away recently. Parkes was a friend to many, including BBC Radio Lancashire's sports editor Andy Bayes, who remembered him as a steady and loyal presence at the club. Players and managers come and go, but few leave a lasting impact like Tony Parkes. The club's 150th season has been an emotional one, with relief and heartbreak coming in the same breath. Despite this, the team is looking forward to the future, with a potential league double over Leicester City on the horizon. Blackburn Rovers will be celebrating their successful battle against relegation, while Leicester City will be marking their final game in the Championship for at least one season. The game promises to be an exciting one, with both teams looking to end the season on a high note. Blackburn Rovers have a strong record in their final league match, with only one loss in the past 13 seasons. The team will be looking to build on this success and finish the season with a win.
