BOSS Paul Ince was pleased with the display against NAC Breda after their 1-1 draw at Ewood Park on Saturday.
A header from Jason Roberts cancelled out Feher's first half opener and the manager was happy with the workout and the display, particularly in the second half.
"I'm very pleased," said the Rovers boss after the game. "Especially with the second half. In the first half I thought we were a little bit slow out of the traps, but then again we gave them a lot of possession in front of us without them actually creating any chances.
"But in the second half we came out and we started ever so well, the tempo and everything, we were getting tight and stopping them from playing the way they wanted to play, forcing them into a lot of errors.
"Possession-wise we had more of the ball and looked like the only team that was going to win.
"But it was a very good training session for the lads, it was a very good workout considering we had four or five main players not there. We were without Roque, Morten, Emerton and of course Nelsen is away at the Olympics. So the lads who came in did ever so well, I'm very optimistic now.
"We will get better, we will get sharper, it is only the first game next week, so in the next three or four games we will get sharper and fitter, so I'm optimistic for the new season."
