Big Sam - Rovers not safe yet
Sam Allardyce insists Blackburn Rovers' relegation worries are not over following the 2-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur.[LNB] Rovers moved five points clear of the relegation zone after Saturday's battling victory, which was secured by Andre Ooijer's 89th minute goal.[LNB]Allardyce has steadily guided Blackburn away from trouble since taking over from Paul Ince and still has the likes of Portsmouth and West Brom to welcome to Ewood Park.[LNB]But despite the games which still await Rovers, Allardyce believes there is a long way to go before the club can be considered safe from relegation.[LNB]Nowhere near enough"I don't think that ends our relegation worries," Allardyce told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. "Thirty-four points is nowhere near enough for this season. [LNB]"The squad has come into its own. We've got a result out of that and that's very important indeed. [LNB]"This is a confidence booster. If I can take you through the last six games, we've taken 11 points out of 18. We lost to Arsenal away, we've only lost to Aston Villa here and United away in my period here. [LNB]"That shows you how hard it is to get out of trouble doesn't it when we've got 11 points out of 18 and we're still in and around the relegation zone?" [LNB]
