Allardyce not hitting panic button yet

31 August 2009 13:39
Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce is not overly concerned his side have not registered a win in their opening three Barclays Premier League matches. Rovers secured their first point with a goalless draw at home to West Ham on Saturday after back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Sunderland. However, he does not believe his side have received full value for their efforts after dominating the games against the Black Cats and the Hammers. "We have to believe the performances are good enough," said Allardyce. "People would think that we were struggling in the first three games with one point but performance-wise we are not, although results-wise we are." After bringing in Pascal Chimbonda to replace Stephen Warnock, who completed his move to Aston Villa last week, Allardyce does not anticipate adding to his squad further before the close of the transfer window. "I won't be here on Tuesday, I'll not be in this country," said the Rovers manager. "There won't be any more deals being done from my point of view - certainly not going out unless it is one of the players who is not playing in the first team as much as he would like. "It might be good enough for the club and it might be good enough for him."
