Jon Dahl Tomasson has insisted he is not happy that Blackburn Rovers aren't winning despite being upbeat about their performances.

The head coach has remained positive about his team despite losing four Championship matches in a row. They have created lots of opportunities in those games but haven't taken their chances.

They had conceded 16 goals in five games prior to losing 1-0 at Coventry City, where they were far more solid. Despite being pleased again with the bulk of the performance, Tomasson hit back at suggestions he's satisfied with losing if they Rovers well.

"Of course (it's frustrating), it's good we won against Cardiff, but if you look at this game, we could've won it as well," he said.

"If you look at Leicester, we could've got a result. Sunderland, we could have got a result as well and Ipswich. We haven't and that is something we have to work on.

"What I see, I see a lot of good things and normally things change in a period like that. If we'd got a few of those points, things would have turned, that is football.

"I am never happy when we are not winning games, nobody is happy with that.

"Players, staff, me and the fans. The things we are doing, we are doing a lot of good things. We have been giving too easy goals away but we were solid today for most of the game.

"We have created plenty of goal chances to win games. One of the best in the league but you have to score."

Rovers used Sam Szmodics as a false nine against Coventry, as he did against Leicester, with Sam Gallagher and Harry Leonard both out. Semir Telalovic didn't come on until the 86th minute, after Coventry scored, whilst Niall Ennis was an unused substitute.

Tomasson admitted that Szmodics is not as effective in that role compared to when he plays deeper but felt he didn't have many other alternatives. That was underlined by including Ennis, who had only trained for one day after six weeks out with a knee injury.

"It's true, it's true," Tomasson told The Lancashire Telegraph. "When you play as a false nine, you can stay too high.

"Sometimes you can go too deep and there will always be distance for you to run and you can't always be there. We know Sammie has been incredibly important for us.

"Maybe it was a bit crazy for me to bring Niall Ennis as well on the bench but there is also a reason for that."

He added: "We need to use the whole squad, it's been a busy period. Now we play in London on Saturday for our seventh game in 21 days. We need to use the squad and give players a rest. 

"Leo got his first start at this level, I thought the boy did well, that's very positive. James (Hill), his first start in the Championship and I think he did well as well.

"The squad is not that big so we need to change players. The other players needed a little break from the game."
