Blackburn Rovers head coach Valerien Ismael lamented his side's failure to convert their chances following their 1-0 home loss to Hull City. Mathias Jorgensen's close-range header over the bar before the hour mark was one of the spurned opportunities at Ewood Park before Lewis Koumas slid in a late winner for the Tigers. Rovers could not find an equaliser and defeat left them in 22nd place, rooted in the Championship relegation zone. "I think it's not about the performance today, it's not about the desire or the mentality," Ismael told BBC Radio Lancashire. At some point you have to take your chances when you dominate the game like this.
