Sam Ricketts is convinced Bolton Wanderers can finish inside the top ten.

However the Wales international believes it is imperative they bounce back in the derby against Blackburn at the Reebok Stadium.

He said: "We are more than capable of finishing in the top half. We have had a hard run of games and our performances deserved more than what we actually achieved.

"It's time now to get those extra points and to start climbing the table. If we put a couple of back-to-back wins together then people will see us fly up the table."
