Blackburn defender Martin Olsson has more confidence in new boss Sam Allardyce than the inexperienced Paul Ince. "He (Ince) tried his best but when he was here we were low on confidence," said the 20 year old.

"Since Sam came in we have been working hard in training and we know we can get out of the bottom three, it will just take a bit of time.

"We work as a team, not individuals. There is more communication and that helps a lot on the pitch.

"Sam has been in the Premier League for a long time compared to Paul Ince. Ince needed to learn more because he was new to the game.

"Sam knows what he is doing and that is why I'm not bothered if I'm not playing because I'll just learn what others are doing on the pitch.

"I think our confidence has gone much higher than when Ince was here."
