Rovers sacrifice style in survival battle

STEVE KEAN can only hope Blackburn’s owners think the further and higher you can kick a ball, the better you are.

Rovers’ first win in three months pulled them three points above the relegation zone and they also have favourable goal difference as they head into the final three matches of the season.

Kean discussed how his players “needed” to beat Bolton rather than “wanted” the win and at this stage of the season, getting the points is really all that matters.
