Blackburn Rovers looked set to challenge for the play-offs.
A few months later, survival was the only thing that mattered.
In this episode of The Blackburn End Podcast, we look back on a campaign that unravelled dramatically and ask one simple question: how did a season full of promise become a relegation battle?
From a strong first half of the season and genuine optimism around Ewood Park, to managerial changes, a collapse in form and a nervous finish, we revisit the key moments that shaped Blackburn Rovers' 2025/26 season.
We discuss:
⚽ The turning points that changed the course of the campaign
⚽ When and why the season started to unravel
⚽ The impact of John Eustace's departure
⚽ Michael O'Neill's arrival and the battle for survival
⚽ The players who impressed and those who disappointed
⚽ The biggest highs, lows and frustrations of the season
⚽ How close Rovers really came to relegation
⚽ The return of Tony Mowbray and what it means moving forward
This may have been one of the most dramatic seasons in recent Blackburn Rovers history, but how should it ultimately be remembered?
