Arnor Sigurdsson is confident Blackburn Rovers can rediscover their attacking mojo ahead of the final nine Championship games.
Rovers have been reliant on Sam Szmodics to find the net in recent weeks, with the Championship's top-scorer firing their last four goals.
There have been defensive improvements under John Eustace but that has come at a cost in attack. However, Sigurdsson is confident that time on the training pitch will help Rovers find their rhythm in front of goal.
"As a team, we started well (against Plymouth), we know we can combine, create and score goals," he told RoversTV.

"I feel like it was nice to be back in the starting XI again and I enjoyed it.
"He (Szmodics) has been amazing, he keeps scoring, doesn't he? Some people can stop scoring for two, three, or four games but he is always at it. I enjoy playing with him because we have a good link-up.
"We know how each other moves, I know where he'll run and he knows where I will. I enjoy playing with him.
"It's massive we get the goals from all the players, we have to step up as a team."
Rovers are still entrenched in the Championship relegation battle and sit in 18th, three points above the relegation zone. Wins have been hard to come by, with five draws in Eustace's first seven league matches.
"It's a bit of everything, we started the game very well, dominated the first 15 minutes," Sigurdsson said on the lack of wins.
"Then we struggled a bit but after we went to 10 men we showed great character. They created more chances when we were with ten than 11.
"Of course, it wasn't the result we wanted but they showed great character. It was really important to get something. We have shown in the last games that we're sticking together.
"We have shown team spirit, we're fighting for each other. Running, tackling. We're always looking for three points.
"It's been a tough period, we're taking points, better than zero, but we want the three. We are digging deep to try and get that.
"We believe and we have confidence that we can do it. Games haven't gone as we like but we are fighting."
"It's been tough but you go through that in football, it's part of it," he added.
"When it's tough, you have to show what you're made of. We as a team are sticking together, we have no other option. We need the fans behind us and they know that it's important for us as players to feel like they're with us.
"Tough times are the chance to show what you're made of. Nine huge games and we're taking them one at a time. There have been a lot of games so we're glad to have some extra games for rest and recovery and training."
