Emerton, who has made 23 appearances for Rovers in all competitions this season, has seen his side claim just one point from their past five matches in the English Premier League.

Blackburn, who have been in England's top flight since 2001, are currently 14th on the league table, and just one point clear of the bottom three.

But Rovers were in a similar position last term before finishing 10th and Emerton told the club's official website they can do so again.

"I think about the times when we have come up against it and really needed to win games, we have been able to do that,” Emerton said.

"Hopefully this season will be no different and we can string a few wins together and finish the season on a high.

"I think we know what is needed to be done and we feel we can do that and get the results we need."

Emerton's Blackburn host Blackpool in the Premier League on Saturday.
