BLACKBURN Rovers boss Graeme Souness is hoping to exorcise the ghosts from Monday night's disappointing draw with Leicester as soon as possible.

"Following a performance like that, you just want to get it out of your system as quickly as possible," said Souness. "That was the first time in 18 months that I couldn't say we at least looked like scoring and entertained the fans.

"So let's just hope it's another 18 months before I have to say that again.

"We've got players who normally have you on the edge of your seats but none of that happened on Monday night.

"In fact, even I wished I was at home watching Eastenders at half time, it was that bad.
