Dom Hyam believes Blackburn Rovers will click away from home after a strong start to the Championship season.

Rovers have enjoyed plenty of success at Ewood Park, with Wednesday night's draw against West Brom making it 16 from a possible 18.

On the road, they are still trying to find the balance between defences and attack. Rovers drew their first three but then lost back-to-back at Coventry and Plymouth.

They have only scored four goals in five games on the road, with one of those in the last three. John Eustace and the players are still looking to find the balance between defensive solidity and attacking flair away from Ewood Park.

"They're a typical Championship team, it's so hard to call, they have a lot of experience and athletes.

"It'll be a tough game but we can cause them issues as well. We've got solid bases to work from and hopefully, we can take that into the away form.

"It is something we need to address but it's a long season. We need to find more of a balance between being hard to beat and being a threat.

"It's trickier away from home but there's a long way to go. We're a new-ish squad and I hope it's a matter of time before we start clicking away from home as well.

"It's about recovery and making sure everyone's right. It's hard to do much when it's Wednesday night and an early kick-off on Saturday.

"There's a tinge of frustration we didn't beat West Brom but that's the Championship."

Rovers have been excellent defensively this term. The clean sheet against the Baggies was their fourth in succession at home. It's five for the season now in total, having ended the last season with six in 10 too.

That has given the team a solid basis to work from. The team unity is high as well which Hyam credits the coaching and recruitment staff for.

"We've got a good feeling at the moment but the games come thick and fast in the Championship," he said.

"We're the ones who can affect the games, we believe in ourselves and our mates. We're not team-mates, we are mates in there, we do a lot of team togetherness things.

"That can take you so far regardless of the talent we have in the building. We are together and we feel that and he's implemented that.

"We have recruited well, we have some good technical players. With the rotation of the back four and players coming in, we don't look that different and we've missed that, especially last season.

"We have solid foundations and we're pulling in the right direction. Credit to the gaffer and the recruitment team because a lot of detail goes into bringing in a player nowadays.

"There isn't one bad apple in this squad. Everyone wants the best for the team whether you're starting or not, the injured lads are watching. It's all for the squad."

"Our bread and butter has been the defensive solidity, it's not just the back five but the whole team, it really starts from the front and it gives us a solid base to work from," he added.

"There's a lot of work that's gone into the defensive record. I think that's 11 from 26 games now since he came in.

"Especially last season, that's what kept us up, being harder to beat. We've taken that into this season and become more of a threat. 

"It's all time on the training pitch, trusting the gaffer and his coaching staff with their work. We're all pulling in the same direction and that's great."
