Gary Bowyer: Rotherham United loss "unacceptable"

Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer has branded his side's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Rotherham United last night as "unacceptable".

It was expected that visiting Rovers would claim all three points from the New York Stadium, but first-half goals from Kari Arnason and Luciano Becchio secured all three points for the home side.

Speaking after the match, Bowyer shared his disappointment with the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, saying: "We gifted them two goals and it was not unacceptable.

"We had a rally in the second half, showing the character that we've got, but I don't want to talk about how we have to rally. We have to get ourselves in front in games. It's disappointing."

Rovers return to action this Saturday with a home encounter against Huddersfield Town.
