Zain Westbrooke believes Rovers’ second half performance at MK Dons offered supporters encouragement that the team is on the right track.
Rovers fought valiantly with an excellent showing after the break as they attempted to battle back from two goals down at Stadium:mk.
Particularly following Luke Molyneux’s fine strike, Rovers were the dominant side and were unfortunate to come away empty handed and still searching for the first league win of the season.
And Westbrooke said the players could feel the backing of the fans who made the trip to Buckinghamshire, particularly at the final whistle even after the disappointing result.
“You could see with the fans’ reaction, they’re right behind us playing football like that - good entertaining football, creating chances,” he said.
“If we can do that for 100 minutes, we will pick up points.
“We see ourselves as one of the teams that will be fighting at the top end of the table. Although we’ve had a slow start, we feel like we will be there at the end of the season and we will click.
“We need to have a look at that second half performance and see what we were doing to create that many chances and pack on that much pressure because that’s what we need to do going forward.”
