CRAIG Conway says confidence is flowing through the Blackburn Rovers ranks ahead of today’s Ewood Park encounter with Ipswich Town (3pm).

And the in-form winger has called on his team-mates to ensure it stays that way going into the international break.

Since Rovers returned to action last month results have picked up with a home victory over Charlton Athletic sandwiched between draws at QPR and Hull City.

And Conway, whose corner set-up Jordan Rhodes’ injury-time equaliser against Hull last weekend, said: “In the last few weeks I think we’ve played very well.

“We’ve been to some hard away grounds and got some good results, especially Hull, where I thought we played well and never looked in danger of losing until we went down.

“But I thought we deserved to get back into it and in end we could have nicked it.

“As a team we feel we are playing well and I always believe if you keep playing well results will come.

“We got a good home result against Charlton, which we have backed up with a couple of good away draws, so hopefully we will go into Saturday’s game, which will be a tough one against Ipswich, and get a win. We’ll certainly go into it high in confidence.

“With international breaks it makes it stop-start at times, so what we want to do is go into this one feeling good for a couple of weeks.

“We’ve trained really well this week and, as I say, we’re high on confidence. Now we’ve got to take that into the game and get a positive result.”

Rovers and Ipswich are both unbeaten in their last three Championship matches.

But whereas Gary Bowyer’s boys are 18th after winning just one of their opening nine games, Mick McCarthy’s men are seven points better off in eighth after a stronger start to the campaign.

History, however, is on Rovers’ side. They have not lost to the Tractor Boys at Ewood in the league since August 1992 and they have won the last four meetings between the clubs in East Lancashire.

McCarthy has been in charge of Ipswich for the last three of those meetings and he said: “I watched Blackburn batter Fulham in the second half recently and they are a better side than their position in the table suggests.

“We know it will be a difficult game and we have not had much joy up there. It’s about time we put that right.”

Rovers top-scorer Rhodes will have other ideas. He has scored five goals in his last four games and in his last five meetings with the Tractor Boys, the club where he started his career, he has only failed to find the net once.

Conway said: “We’ve been creating a lot of chances and they are starting to go in as all of a sudden Jordan is finding the net.

“He’s scored five goals and he’s in great form. We know that if we can keep creating chances he will put one or two away when he’s finishing like he is.”
