Albion v Blackburn - from The Amex (From The Argus)

9:45pm

Thanks for joining me tonight. Analysis and reaction in The Argus tomorrow

9:44pm

Albion deserved to win but it is a 13th draw of the season and that could cost them at the end of the season but let's hope not.

9:43pm

FT Albion 1 Blackburn 1. Kazenga LuaLua fired inches wide from 20 yards in stoppage time, then Orlandi had an effort blocked

9:38pm

Albion still pressing without any major chances

9:34pm

Vicente has been amed MoM. It couldn't be anyone else tonight

9:29pm

Vicente is just an artist. He had five players trying to stop him as he burst into the area with fancy footwork

9:22pm

LuaLua on for Buckley

9:18pm

Albion are pressing and just need to show a bit of patience. Rovers are looking a little ragged and have five players on yellows now

9:10pm

Murphy booked for bad challenge on Bridcutt. Blackburn had three other players booked in the penalty incident

9:08pm

Markus Olsson handles a cross, the linesman gives the penalty and VICENTE drives it down the middle 1-1

9:01pm

Blackburn appeal for a penalty when a Rhodes shot hits El-Abd's hand but little he could do about it

8:58pm

Vicente cross from the left is headed past his own post for a corner by Martin Olsson in the second minute. Almost an own goal

8:53pm

Second half is under way ...

8:52pm

Albion on their way back out. Interesting that Orlandi came on for Hoskins not CMS

8:49pm

8:38pm

Hard to comprehend Albion are behind here. Nine decent chances in the half and Blackburn score from their only shot on target

8:37pm

HT Albion 0 Blackurn 1

8:37pm

Hammond header kept out at point-blank range by Kean from a Vicente cross. Then from the corner a header from Upson is well saved by Kean. Both in first half stoppage time.

8:34pm

Orlandi is on for the injured Hoskins who departs on a stretcher

8:31pm

Hoskins is down injured ...

8:25pm

Campbell heads over the bar for Blackburn who are trying to slo the game down as much as they can

8:21pm

It's gone a lttle flat since the goal. Albion need to pick it up again because they were playing so well

8:16pm

Just before the goal Buckley diverted a Hammond shot on to the bar before Kean got it clear

8:14pm

The goal was completely against the run of play after a great start by Albion and came from only Blackburn's second attack. Goal time was 23mins

8:13pm

Blackburn take the lead against the run of play as Scott DANN heads a Danny Murphy corner into the far corner of the net

8:05pm

Michael Appleton is looking frustrated. His side are chasing shadows

8:01pm

Now a right-footed drive from Bruno flies wide. That is six chances, on or off target, in the first 11 minutes and three corners

8:00pm

Far post header from Ulloa is blocked with a shout of handball at the same time but nothing given

8:00pm

Buckley chases a long ball and prods it goalwards but Kean recovers to scramble it away for a corner. Strong start by Albion with Vicente at the heart of everything

7:58pm

Vicente, having tested his range a minute earlier, lets flies from 22 yards and the ball zooms past the upright

7:52pm

A positive start from Albion. Fierce strike from Dean Hammond earns a second-minute corner from which Ulloa volleys wide. It looks like a front three of Buckley, Ulloa and Hoskins with Vicente playing in front of Hammond and Bridcutt. Albion kicking towards the South Stand

7:47pm

The match is under way ...

7:45pm

Bridcutt obviously captain again

7:44pm

Players are on their way out ...

7:39pm

7:33pm

This will be Vicente's first competitive start at The Amex since the 1-1 draw with Birmingham last April

7:22pm

Hoskins and Ulloa go into the game looking for their first league goals for Albion in 2012-13

7:10pm

The team team tonight includes just five players who started the 1-1 draw at Blackburn three weeks ago

7:08pm

Exciting line-up for Albion. Will Buckley play in a hole behind the front two as Andy Naylor suggested in The Argus today or will he fill his normal role out wide? Whatever happens, the team is a positive statement from Gus Poyet

7:07pm

So DJ Campbell makes his first start for Blackburn who have a twin threat down the left in the shape of Markus and Martin Olsson

7:03pm

Blackburn:  Kean; Orr, Dann, Hanley, Martin Olsson; Kazim-Richards, Lowe, Murphy, Markus Olsson; Rhodes, Campbell. Subs: Givet, Pedersen, Williamson, Nuno Gomes, Morris, Goodwillie, Usai.

6:53pm

Albion team: Kuszczak, Bruno, El-Abd, Upson, Bridge; Bridcutt, Vicente, Hammond, Buckley; Ulloa, Hoskins. Sub: Ankergren, Calderon, Dicker, Orlandi, David, LuaLua, Mackail-Smith

6:52pm

Vicente, Buckley and Hoskins start tonight in place of David, Orlandi and CMS

6:39pm

6:38pm

6:36pm

Good evening and welcome from The Amex where Albion are hoping to make it back-to-back wins. As well as this live blog (which I remind you is subject to a three-minute delay when the match is in play) I will also be tweeting goal news as it happens @HowardGriggs
