Rovers have despite having not won in five Barclays Premier League matches and slipped to 13th, just two points outside the relegation zone.

But after two defeats and three draws, defender Nelsen said confidence within the camp remains good.

"If we were not getting points and not playing well then that is a big problem," he said.

"It is a very fine line between winning and losing. You can play extremely well for the majority of the game and end up losing. That is the Premier League. Points are the things you need but the performances in the end over a long season will hold you in good stead.

"It does not help we have had some injuries to key players. The manager has not been able to pick a settled side yet purely because of injuries."
