Boss Roy Keane says he knows what his Town side have to do in order to turn their form around — score more goals and concede fewer. The Blues go into today’s game at Doncaster still looking for their first league win of the season.

Keane says he and his staff are focusing on fundamental aspects of the game in training at present: “We’re working on scoring more goals and conceding less.

"In between both boxes we’ve done reasonably well. I think we’ve kept the ball well and got it into the right areas, but what happens in both boxes will dictate football results.

“We’ve not defended well enough as a team, particularly when the ball goes into our area. I can give you all the stats and we are getting the ball into good areas, but we’re just not getting on the end of it and scoring that vital goal.”

Keane says that contrary to some reports, he sees himself at Town for the long haul: “I signed for two years, I could have signed a three-year deal, but I always set myself challenges.

“I’ve had difficult periods before in my career, whether it’s as a player or as a young manager, and I’ve always got through them.

“I’m fairly confident that come the end of the two-year contract that I’ve signed, we’ll be in the Premiership. No one said it was going to be easy.”

Meanwhile, Town’s disability liaison officer Warner Duff was named the ITV Anglia representative taking part in the Feelgood Factor category at the Pride of Britain Awards yesterday.

The awards will be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London and will be shown by ITV1 on Wednesday, 7th October.
