Hughes: Rovers eyeing silverware

BLACKBURN boss Mark Hughes is demanding a trophy from his side this season with his players now being viewed as cup winners.

After three years in charge at Ewood Park — Hughes celebrated the anniversary with a goalless draw at Chelsea on Saturday — Rovers are finally earning respect from their peers.

Blackburn were long derided as an overly-physical team, infuriating the likes of Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson in the process with their no-nonsense style of play.
