Nelsen calls for Blackburn home support to see them safe

Ryan Nelsen has called for Ewood Park to replicate recent successful Blackburn 'away days' ahead of three crucial home games in their fight against relegation, reports the Lancashire Telegraph. The Rovers captain has been well impressed with Rovers away support and wants that replicating at home.

He said: "The fans were fantastic and that is the disappointing thing that we didn't threaten their goal as much as we would have liked.

"We didn't create any real pressure. I hope they will be back again next weekend because they have been great when we have played away the last few months and hopefully they will turn out at Ewood.

"It is getting to that stage of the season now where we have to win our games.

"I am sure there will be a good atmosphere for such a big game and it is up to us to make sure we give the fans something to get behind."
