Roberts: It's still in our hands

Rovers have only lost twice in 10 matches, but Wednesday night's goalless draw at home to Everton was not enough to prevent them sliding back into the bottom three of the Premier League.[LNB]Roberts said: "Results have not gone for us, but we will take something from our last two performances.[LNB]"We have a big game coming up against Fulham, which is one of our games in hand, so we have a lot to be positive about.[LNB]"If we go there and do a job we are back where we want to be.[LNB]"So it is still in our own hands. We have to be confident and we are - we are feeling good."[LNB]Roberts came as close as anyone to sneaking a winner against Everton, only for Blues goalkeeper Tim Howard to prevent a breakaway goal.[LNB]The striker added: "Everton are one of the form sides in the division, but we still feel it was two points lost.[LNB]"We had a few chances but didn't put them away. I probably had the best chance, but their goalkeeper stayed brave and stayed upright and the ball just rattled against his legs - on another day it would have gone in."[LNB]Allardyce has a week now to try and reduce his injury list - although Vince Grella, Gael Givet and stand-in goalkeeper Jason Brown all picked up knocks.[LNB]Grella had a recurrence of a groin injury, while Givet suffered concussion in a clash of heads with Leon Osman.[LNB]Brown's injury is potentially the most worrying, given that Paul Robinson is only touch and go to return before next week.[LNB]Allardyce said: "I don't quite know what Jason's done, but he had trouble taking the kicks off the ground at the end."[LNB][LNB]
