Jon Dahl Tomasson is not concerned by Blackburn Rovers' poor form at home as he feels there are plenty of matches they should have won.
Ewood Park was the backbone of Rovers' promotion push last season. Only Burnley (54), Sheffield United (51) and Middlesbrough (46) collected more points at home than Tomasson's side (43), who won 13 of their 23 matches and lost only six times.
This season, however, they have been more fruitful on the road and struggled in front of their own fans. Only Millwall (7), Sheffield Wednesday (5) and Queens Park Rangers (2) have taken fewer points from their first eight games at home.
However, Tomasson feels that looking at the cold statistics doesn't apply the necessary context. Against Hull City, they were down to ten men for 75 minutes, whilst they missed huge chances at pivotal moments in games against Sunderland and Swansea City, in the eye of Tomasson.

The Blackburn Rovers head coach feels that the performance have been good enough but the clinical edge has been missing. As a result, he is not unduly worried about the Ewood Park form.
"We would like to be winning games at home, at Ewood," Tomasson said. "It was a bit of a fortress last season.
"If you took every game, Sunderland, we should have been leading three, four nil. Today, we should have won. Swansea game, we should have won that as well.
"It is about being clinical in our own box but the opponent's box too. When you create that amount of chances, then we are doing a lot of good things as a team.
"We are the team that has created the biggest chances in the whole league but we've also missed the biggest chances in the whole league. I think that makes sense."
Away from home, things have been far better for Blackburn. They have won four of their opening eight games, having won just seven in the entirety of last season. With 13 points, they are already halfway towards their tally tally of 26 in the 2022/23 season.
