Pressure Does Not Worry Keegan!
"Every club and every situation you find yourself in at a club is a big challenge.
"The last time when I came, we were second bottom of the division below; when I went to Manchester City, it was, 'Can you keep us in the same division?
"We have not been in the same division for five years. We have been up, down, up, down'.
"When you get, as we did last time at this club, on the verge of maybe winning the title, there is still pressure there.
"But it is a much nicer pressure than being sucked into maybe something down at the bottom of the table.
"Blackburn will come here and the pressure on Mark Hughes to get three points is the same as on us, but for different reasons: they want to get into Europe, we want to get up the table.
"We need just to know what it is like to win a game again. It is December 15 since we last won, so it is a long time.
"Sometimes when you don't get results, players feel the whole world has gone against them. But the opposite happens when you start to win games.
"You start to get a lot of confidence and then strangely enough, Lady Luck comes along and helps you out.
"You see that happening with teams, where they play well and win and then suddenly start to play very badly and sneak a win.
"That tends to happen with teams that have a bit of confidence. They hang in there a bit longer, the self-belief stays a little bit longer with the team and then they sometimes get a win where really, if they are honest, they would have been happy with a draw.
"That's where we are. The confidence will come straight back once we win. The players have had a long time without a win, but opportunity knocks for us with Blackburn and we have to take it."
