Nelsen Issues Battle Cry To Fans

17 March 2011 16:30
Rovers skipper Ryan Nelsen is calling on the help of the fans to lift the side onto the victories they need at Ewood Park to get the fears of relegation gone asap. It’s a big game for both Rovers and Blackpool this weekend, both need the points desperately and both would be deeper in trouble if the other one wins the game. Blackpool will no doubt be fired up for this one, not least because of the way that Rovers took all three points at Bloomfield Road earlier in the season. And Rovers are not exactly brimming with confidence, they have not won in six games and each week get ever nearer the drop zone. This is exactly why Nelsen wants the crowd to play their part in the game. He said: “Every Premier League is important but there are times when individual games take on special significance and this is one of them. “It is a big game for both teams but perhaps especially for us, when we are keen to end a disappointing run with a big result and we are at home. “It can take a spark of individual ability or a fans initiative like this to help push you over the line.”
