Tony Mowbray believes his side have shown ‘fantastic resilience’ this season and says there should be no doubts over his side going into the final four games.

Rovers were denied three points by Chris Lines’ injury-time equaliser for Bristol Rovers on Saturday, their second draw of the week away from home.

Promotion rivals Wigan Athletic and Shrewsbury Town both play games in hand tonight, hosting Oxford and Charlton respectively.

The promotion picture will therefore change regularly this week, with Rovers hosting Peterborough on Thursday before their rivals return to action on Saturday.

But the Rovers boss is backing his side to see the job through.

“There haven’t been many setbacks, the last being against Plymouth after an 18 match unbeaten run,” Mowbray said.

“The team have shown fantastic resilience and great quality over a long period of time and there’s no reason to question that going in to the last three weeks of the season.

“We will be going into them fine.

“We don’t fear anyone, at Ewood or on the road. There are some good teams in this league, at home they can make it difficult for you, as Wigan found (against Rotherham), sitting behind the ball and playing on the counter.

“The games are all difficult until you make them not difficult by scoring goals.”

Rovers are yet to go three games this season without a win, a record that will be put to the test once again when the Posh arrive in East Lancashire in two days’ time.

Mowbray has guided his side to 87 points, one point more than Bolton were promoted with last season, with four games still to play.

Rovers remain on course to beat the boss’ two points a game target he set at the start of the season and for that, the Ewood chief believes the three teams chasing promotion are worthy of praise.

“I think the three teams deserve huge credit,” he added. “In any other season we would probably be promoted already with 87 points, Bolton got promoted with 86 last season.

“Yet great credit to all three clubs in a difficult league to accrue that many points.

“It’s going to go down to the wire and we have to believe and keep going and win football matches.

“We have lost once in our last 31 games and we take the belief going in to the last few games that it is going to have to be some team that beats us.

“We have to keep believing and keep going.”

Despite the disappointment of Bristol Rovers’ late equaliser, Rovers have won eight of their last 11 games and have suffered defeat just once in the league since October.

And ahead of their nearest challengers for the top two spots playing, he said: “It’s disappointing but we have a resilient group who have worked extremely hard.

“I maintain we are still in the box seat. We deserved more (on Saturday) but when you are aiming for promotion you are going to have ups and downs and have disappointments along the way.”
