Allardyce excited by Hoilett
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has hailed Junior Hoilett as a rising star but warned the young forward to keep his feet on the ground.[LNB] A miserable goalless draw at home to West Ham on Saturday was livened up by the introduction of Hoilett off the substitutes' bench.[LNB]The 19-year-old Canadian came on with half-an-hour left to make only his second Premier League appearance and injected a little life into proceedings.[LNB]He had the best chance of the game 13 minutes from full-time when he ran onto David Dunn's incisive through-ball to set up a one-on-one with goalkeeper Robert Green.[LNB]Hoilett attempted an ambitious 20-yard chip instead of going for a more straightforward option and the ball dropped onto the top of the net.[LNB]Allardyce is aware he has a talent on his hands but is determined to introduce him to Blackburn's first team gradually, without putting undue pressure on young shoulders.[LNB]Exciting talent"We have an exciting young lad in Junior," said Allardyce.[LNB]"He played at Gillingham (and scored in Tuesday's 3-1 Carling Cup victory) and there is a bright future for him coming I think.[LNB]"But we don't want him to get too big-headed just yet and start getting carried away thinking he is this, that and the other.[LNB]"He is a sensible lad I hope. We'll introduce him slowly and develop him slowly.[LNB]"I think he showed enough yesterday to prove sometimes he can produce a little bit of brilliance.[LNB]"In that respect he is a little like Dunny (David Dunn), offering something that other players cannot which can open the door for you."[LNB]
