Arte et Labore returns with Blackburn Rovers' play-off hopes are in taters after a terrible week on the pitch.

Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred breakdown back-to-back defeats to bottom six clubs which have left Rovers with a five-point deficit to the top-six. With eight games to go, the chances feel slim after defeat to Cardiff City.

The Bluebirds result goes under the microscope, as does criticism of Valerien Ismael. Is it fair? And what's the root cause of a slump that's seen the team win four of their last 18 league games?
