It's been quite the week for Blackburn Rovers.

Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred analyse the end of the transfer window and defeat at Preston North End on the latest episode of Arte et Labore.

After signing just one player on deadline day, where does it leave the Rovers squad? What should be the repercussions from such a terrible window?

Rovers are advancing with a deal to sign free agent Ryotaro Ito. They discuss where he might fit and how he could help the current crop.

On the pitch, defeat at Preston highlighted the lack of squad depth. Things don't get any easier with games against Sheffield United and Millwall this week.
