Roberts won't rest on laurels

A 1-0 win over Bolton weekend brought to an end an 11-match winless run for Rovers and edged them clear of the drop zone. However, there are still just three points separating Steve Kean's side from the trapdoor and they have little margin for error, especially with a trip to West Ham this weekend. Roberts has called for everyone at Ewood Park to focus on the job in hand in a bid to establish some end-of-season momentum. "We are not there yet - it puts us within touching distance and it was a big win," the experienced striker said on the victory over Bolton. "Now it is time to capitalise on it and keep that winning mentality and keep that togetherness and I think we are going to be okay. "We have games coming up we think we can get something from. "Sometimes you forget what it is like to win. We did that on Saturday and we need to keep hold of that feeling, keep hold of how it was in the dressing room." Roberts has been around long enough to know that results are all that matters from here on in, with performances having to be put to one side. He added: "It is time for digging in, a time for big characters, a time for experience. And the boys showed that. "There are a lot of teams in a worse position and that is something we have to remember."
