Tony Mowbray savoured the best Ewood Park atmosphere since he took charge as Rovers roared back in the second half to beat Peterborough United 3-1.

Bradley Dack scored twice, with Danny Graham getting himself on the scoresheet, as Rovers moved eight points clear of Shrewsbury Town in third.

The victory moved them to 90 points, level with leaders Wigan Athletic who have a better goal difference, and now a game in hand.

Scenes of jubilation greeted the final whistle and when asked about the atmopshere Mowbray said: “I think probably the best.

“At the end of last season there were some amazing atmospheres when we were digging in trying to get results.

“It just shows me what Ewood Park can be on nights or days where, can you imagine if we got 20,000 in here?

“The noise it could generate on the front foot when the team is on the front foot, attacking, it was quite amazing to listen to the energy coming from the stands.

“I look forward to many more years of Ewood Park bouncing and the fans enjoying their football and watching their team.”

On where it leaves Rovers in the promotion race, the boss added: “I just want to think about the next game and until the games run out for the opposition and they can’t catch us.

“They have four games left, they can get 12 points. They can 94 points, we’re on 90, so we need four more points because the goal difference is significant.

“We have to win Tuesday and if they keep winning we have to get a point somewhere.

“Let’s keep going.

“Until they don’t win a game or something, let’s wait and see.

“We want to finish with as many victories as we can. It would be great if we finished top of the league, yet Wigan and Shrewsbury are both in there fighting, let’s see where we finish.

“With that spirit there’s no reason to think we can’t win every game.”

Rovers pulled out a second half performance when they needed it most, and Mowbray added: “I think so. And why does it happen? Because the group care for each other, they work hard for each other, they don’t accept defeat and they made a connection with the fans in the second half.

“It was really impressive to see.

“The dressing room is a good place to be but they have to rest well, eat and drink and sleep well and prepare for Tuesday.”
