Nelsen eager to build on away win
The 2-0 victory against local rivals Bolton on Sunday banished a run of 10 successive defeats on the road in the Premier League. It was just the boost Blackburn were hoping for, given they have a trip to Craven Cottage in midweek.[LNB]Nelsen said: "It is our catch-up game and a crucial one. If we can get some points there things will be even better.[LNB]"We've won away from home, we've ticked that box now so it has to be consistency for the next few games.[LNB]"We had 10 very difficult matches at the start of the season, possibly the hardest of any teams.[LNB]"Sure we were disappointed to only get 10 points from them but now we are looking at the next batch as really important ones.[LNB]"A year and a half ago we were seventh, so we've been really disappointed with what has happened.[LNB]"The past four or five years Blackburn have been easily a top 10 club and that is where we aim to be."[LNB]Assistant manager Neil McDonald will again take charge as Sam Allardyce is having an angioplasty, a procedure to widen one of his coronary arteries, on Friday.[LNB]Nelsen, like others, was caught on the hop by the news.[LNB]He said: "When the captain of the ship is having to step aside it is a big shock.[LNB]"But you've got to put your head down and be professional and get the job done.[LNB]"There was a little bit extra for him in this game against Bolton all the boys are really happy that we've given him the victory."[LNB][LNB] Fulham Evens, Draw 12/5, Blackburn 11/4
