Kean still confident of Blackburn survival

Blackburn boss Steve Kean believes his side will pick up seven points from their last four games and earn their Premier League survival.

Rovers currently sit second from bottom on the table, three points behind 17th-placed QPR, and have lost their last five games.

However, Kean is confident the upcoming clash with Norwich can kick-start their bid for safety and believes his team have nothing to fear ahead of trips to Tottenham and Chelsea.

“I think we need seven points and I think our next game against Norwich is a massive game. If we can beat Norwich then we’ve got to go to Tottenham to try to get something,” Kean told Yahoo.

“We can go away from home with confidence because we’ve gone to places like Anfield and got a point, Old Trafford and got three points, Goodison and got a point, so there’s no reason that we can’t go to White Hart Lane or Stamford Bridge and get something.

“We’ve also got Wigan to play which is a massive game because we’re very close to each other in the league at the moment.”

The Scottish manager also took time to praise Manchester United defender Phil Jones, who left Rovers last season.

“I think Phil will go to captain England and he has shown that he is not a player that can only play in one position,” he said.

“He can play full-back, centre-back, midfield and when he was here as a young player he actually played up front such was his level of ability.”
