Blackburn's scattergun Roberts insists confidence intact

Jason Roberts insists missing crucial chances for Blackburn Rovers won't dent his confidence.

The striker said: "Football is weird, especially being a striker. I missed the chance the other day and it felt like the world had come down on me. All I could do was work hard though.

"All the way throughout my career, I have worked hard when things have not gone my way and I will keep doing that to put things right.

"It felt good to score the goal. It felt like I had laid a ghost to rest and I am glad the game came straight away, strikers always have highs and lows.

"I missed the chance but I had to believe in myself and keep going and I will keep doing that. We have to believe, we are unbeaten. We will work hard and come back stronger."
