"It's about just looking at the next game now, looking at what's six feet in front of your face," Malky Mackay said.
"They [Blackburn] have a squad that is the envy of anyone in the division."
City have eight games to play and know that 14 points will guarantee promotion. Hopefully City will knock three of those off today against a Blackburn side who have had more managers than hot dinners this season.
"They came down from the Prem and didn't lose too many [players] and they've added to that with some real big signings," Mackay said.
"Jordan Rhodes, he's a goal-scorer and he cost £8m, so anyone who cost that sort of money better be a threat.
"They've also got an interim manager [Gary Bowyer] who will want to win enough games to maybe give himself a shout at the job as well.
"Pride will be there and... they're fighting for their lives as well. Everyone has got something to play for so it'll be a tough, tough game on Monday.
"We've got eight games that are important, no difference... and we make sure that we go out there and give everything we've got.
"Our away fans were fantastic [at Peterborough] and I'm sorry we couldn't give them a result to back to the Cardiff City Stadium, but I'm sure we'll have everybody out there on Monday looking after us."
