Lewis O'Brien sent Blackburn apologies after EFL block Nottingham Forest transfer

Blackburn Rovers supporters have sent grovelling apologies to Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien after his loan move to their club was blocked.

O'Brien agreed a temporary switch to Blackburn on deadline day last month, but some paperwork was filed after the 11pm cut-off.

After tweeting about his disappointment, O'Brien was flooded with messages from Blackburn fans apologising for the situation. Below is a look at what some of them had to say.
