Blackburn Rovers survived the 25/26 Championship season, but the bigger question is whether they should have.

After defeat to Leicester City, we reflect on a season where PSR points deductions for clubs like Leicester and West Brom played a major role in shaping the final table.

Without those deductions, Rovers would have been relegated — so did Blackburn stay up on merit, or did the system ultimately decide it?

We also discuss:

• Leicester’s quality despite relegation
• The impact of EFL rules on the Championship table
• Why Rovers “got away with it” this season
• The need for more experience going forward
• Michael O’Neill’s future heading into the summer

There’s also a brief debate on potential squad changes, including whether Rovers should consider selling Toth or Alebiosu.

Blackburn Rovers have survived in the Championship, but it was far too close for comfort.

In the club’s 150th year, Rovers were on the edge of relegation — and this episode looks at what must change to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

We discuss the performance against Sheffield United, whether Michael O’Neill is the right man going forward, and what the summer needs to look like if Blackburn are to move forward rather than just survive.

We also reflect on how quickly things can change in the Championship, with clubs like Leicester showing how fine the margins can be.

Southampton inflict defeat on Blackburn Rovers before a hard-fought draw against newly promoted Coventry City keeps Rovers right in the middle of the Championship survival race.

With just 2 games left for Blackburn – and 3 for some of the teams around them – the pressure is building heading into the final stretch.

Coventry City secure promotion to the Premier League and could still have a huge say in the relegation battle, while Blackburn now turn their attention to a crucial clash against Sheffield United.

Charlton are slipping, Leicester City look set for relegation, and Oxford United need near-perfect form to survive – but are Blackburn Rovers safe?

We break down the results against Southampton and Coventry, assess where Rovers stand in the table, and preview a massive game against Sheffield United in the fight to stay up.
