GRAEME Souness will whisk his players away to Dubai next week for a well-earned break ahead of a hectic month which is likely to make or break Rovers' season.

Due to international fixtures, Rovers' game against Grimsby next Saturday has now been postponed, allowing Souness and his squad time for some much-needed rest and recuperation.

And the club are hoping the sunshine break will act as the perfect tonic before they prepare to play nine games during April.

"Basically, it's international week so the players not involved in that will go to Dubai, do a little bit of training out there, and, hopefully, have a bit of a relaxing time.

"Then we should come back nice and refreshed in time for the Burnley game," said striker Marcus Bent.

But first Rovers must face Wimbledon at Ewood on Saturday and Bent is buzzing after another vital strike in the win at Birmingham last night.

"It was good to get another vital goal and that put them on the back foot right before half-time," added Bent.

"And this should make it a little bit easier for us going into Saturday's game now."
