Skipper eyes bright future

Blackburn skipper Ryan Nelsen says he has been impressed with boss Paul Ince and is predicting a bright future at the club.

Reports were rife in the summer that all was not well at Ewood Park following the arrival of Ince and several newspapers carried stories suggesting the appointment had not gone down well with all of the squad.

Then following the 4-0 hammering against Arsenal many feared a season of struggle but Rovers have turned it around thanks to back-to-back wins over Fulham and Arsenal.

"Two weeks ago everyone was thinking the worst but everyone in the club knew what the players have got, knew what the management have got, and knew we would get out of it," Nelsen told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"We are showing what Paul Ince is about. He has put his fingerprint on Blackburn now. This is his team and we are showing what we can do.

"We have 20-odd guys who will believe they should be playing. It is really exciting. We just have to keep winning now. It is really exciting and good for the club."
