Kalinic can kick on - Allardyce
lackburn manager Sam Allardyce has backed forward Nikola Kalinic to build on his encouraging start to the season and add to his goal haul.[LNB] Kalinic has struck against Everton and Manchester City this season to equal his goal tally for the whole of last term.[LNB]Both goals have been gifts from goalkeepers Tim Howard and Joe Hart, but Allardyce told Rovers' website: "You've got to be there to finish them off, haven't you?[LNB]"Put him in front of goal and he is cool and calm. It was a little more difficult, this one, than the one he scored against Everton.[LNB]"That was a well-taken goal but this one was a lot further out, he had to make sure he got it past the last defender and just stroked it in.[LNB]"Under that pressure when everybody expects you to score, you've got to hold your nerve and make sure you do, and Niko did. That will boost his confidence very well."
