I'll keep fighting - Ince
Under-pressure Blackburn boss Paul Ince has remained defiant despite his side's sixth Premier League defeat on the trot after being beaten 3-0 by Wigan.
Blackburn, second bottom in the league with 13 points from 17 matches, were 2-0 down within 12 minutes and put in an abject performance.
Blackburn have won just three Premier League matches since Ince joined.
He said: "There is no point in the players feeling sorry for themselves. They have just go to keep believing."
Ince insisted he would not throw in the towel in his first foray into the top-tier of management, having joined from MK Dons four months ago.
"We felt we could not only get something out of the game but win it," Ince said.

606: DEBATE

"Everyone was buzzing in the changing room and then with 12 minutes gone we are 2-0 down and the game was gone. What can you do?
"It is no good improving in the second half. It doesn't do anything.
"I'm very disappointed with the players. We are hurting at this moment in time."
A small section of fans made their feelings known and Ince said he was not surprised by their reaction.
"We let our fans down," Ince admitted.
"Obviously they are going to voice their frustration as anyone would - and rightly so because we let them down.
"They are going to voice their opinion."
But Wigan boss Steve Bruce said his former Manchester United team-mate should be given more time to prove himself.
Early goals were vital - Bruce
Bruce said: "He has played at the highest level and you don't play for Inter Milan, Liverpool and Man U without having a bit of bottle and Incey has plenty of that.
"He will come out fighting and snarling and determined to turn it around.
"We have all been there. If he does turn it round, which I'm sure he will, it will make him a better manager."
