Rovers boss Kean defiant despite defeat at Swansea

Blackburn manager Steve Kean remains adamant his side can avoid relegation despite their woeful performance in Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Swansea.

Rovers’ fifth straight loss means they remain in 19th place, three points adrift of safety, having played at least one game more than the sides around them.

Rovers’ remaining four fixtures also provide few crumbs of comfort, with their away trips taking them to Champions League hopefuls Tottenham and Chelsea. They also face Norwich and fellow strugglers Wigan. Kean believes two wins and a draw will be enough to keep the club in the Premier League, but a major improvement on their abject Liberty Stadium display will be required if that goal is become a reality.
