Tony Mowbray is eyeing a response from his side to last weekend’s second half setback against Wigan Athletic.

The frustration and disappointment of letting a 2-0 half-time lead slip wasn’t lost on Mowbray who is eyeing three points against Blackpool tomorrow.

Despite passing up a great opportunity against the Latics, Rovers still hold a five point lead at the top of League One.

And going in to the final weeks of the season, Mowbray wants to see his side crank up the pressure on the chasing pack.

“We have 10 games to go and all to play for,” Mowbray said.

“Whether it would have been Wigan or not we’d have been disappointed not to have won the football match, particularly from the position we had got ourselves in.

“You’re allowed to be disappointed, you’re allowed to get frustrated, the key to the success of any team is to how it rebounds and bounces back.

“I think the team have done that since our last defeat, that came after 18 games unbeaten, but they have gone back on another run which isn’t as big a number but hopefully with 10 games to go we can stretch that and make sure everyone that plays us know they are in a real football match.

“We will be trying to win every game, 10 games to go, everything to play for but I’m sure Wigan, Shrewsbury and possibly Rotherham think they have a shot at it as well.”

Rovers won 4-2 at Blackpool in November, a fourth win in the space of 10 days which clawed in the sides above them.

Now leading the pack by five points, Mowbray doesn’t see that as a critical period of their season despite a change to a more attacking approach which saw them net 13 times in four matches.

He added: “I was aware that the Oldham away game (a 1-0 defeat in October) was a catalyst for change. Blackpool was another fixture that came along.

“The team enjoy playing on the front foot, pressing and squeezing teams in.

“As the season unfolds you can do something new as teams find ways of counteracting what you do.

“We have to be aware of what the opposition are likely to do, but we have to ask questions of the opposition and that’s what we try and do and not forget to play our own game.

“It’s something the players have bought in to, they understand.

“I have felt this team aren’t too bothered about possession, we have to be on the front foot, ask questions of teams and we have managed to do that, scored some goals and won some games. Let’s keep doing what we do but being very conscious of the opposition’s game plan every week.”
