Orr hails Rovers' survival chances

by Setanta Staff , 03 February 2012 New boy hails Rovers' survival chances

Blackburn new-boy Bradley Orr has no doubt Rovers' squad is up to the task of avoiding relegation from the Premier League this season.


The full-back joined Steve Kean's side on transfer deadline day after a frustrating lack of opportunities with QPR this season and could make his debut in Saturday's trip to Arsenal.

Orr watched his new team lose 2-0 to Newcastle at Ewood Park on Wednesday, a result that left them two points from safety, but the defender saw more than enough to be encouraged about their chances of survival.

"It's really exciting. It's a very good opportunity for me to come to such a great club like Blackburn," Orr said.

"After watching the lads perform it's even more exciting because I thought they played really well and were really unfortunate not to get a win, never mind a result.

"It's a great new chapter for me and something I want to grab with both hands.

"When I look around the dressing room I see some excellent talent, experience blended with youth, and I'm very optimistic about the remainder of the season. Hopefully I can add to that."
