Sitting top of the pile with less than a quarter of the season remaining, Blackburn Rovers fans will be growing increasingly confident that their side can secure an automatic return to the Championship this term.

Manager Tony Mowbray enjoyed a solid summer transfer window, bringing in the players required to mount a promotion challenge, and the former West Brom boss has proven an astute appointment by the club’s board amidst the controversy that has courted the club’s owners in recent times.

One signing to particularly impress is Bradley Dack, with the midfielder proving a revelation since his switch from League One rivals Gillingham.

Here is what we have learnt about the player so far…

Goal scoring midfielders are worth their weight in gold, and Dack has proven himself to be exactly that.

Fourteen in the league from only twenty-eight starts is a remarkable return for a player settling at a new club, but Dack has found the net with consummate ease following his summer switch to Ewood Park.

The player has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, and his finishing rivals that of some of the top strikers in the Championship, let alone League One.

Blackburn should be promoted this season with Dack’s goals a massive contribution to their success, but should they fail, expect interest in his signature to materialise very quickly.

Despite registering fourteen goals this season, Dack has never been on the losing side when he has found the back of the net.

Dack is capable of filling his boots when Rovers are dominating, but is also able to find the net when games are much tighter and Mowbray’s men are battling for vital points.

Fans have grown to relax once their diminutive midfielder is on the scoresheet, as points are certain to follow when Dack is on form.

Dack can be relied upon not only for his goals, but also for his availability.

The player has missed just two games this season in the league, and Mowbray will be delighted that his star man has been devoid of injuries in a season which has gone entirely the way of the former Charlton Athletic trainee.

Keeping fit is key to success, and Dack appears to have an understanding of the capabilities of his body, as well as the luck to keep himself out of trouble.

Clubs higher up the football pyramid will be keeping a close eye on the goal scoring midfielder, and his fitness will be a key element of scouting reports that land on the desks of Championship managers.

Dack looks destined to play at a higher level, and Rovers fans will pray that he can achieve this goal at Ewood Park.
