'At the moment it means nothing' - Hedges

Blackburn Rovers midfielder Ryan Hedges says their recent good form will be wasted if they don't maintain their promotion push.

Rovers go into Saturday's Championship meeting with Luton on the back of a five-game winning streak which has propelled them up to fifth place in the table.

"We've been in this position before since I've been at this club and it came to nothing so we know that it means nothing at this moment in time," Hedges told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"Most of the squad has been here and experienced the highs and lows so we have to learn from that."

A run of just three wins from their final 16 matches last season saw Rovers finish 19th last term having been seventh at the halfway stage of the season.

But Hedges believes they are better prepared this time around with more experienced figures in the dressing room.

"We're in a much better place with the squad depth," he added.

"This time last year I was the oldest player in the changing room at 28 whereas now I'm in the middle of the pack, which is what you would find in most dressing rooms."
