Kean senses support
Steve Kean saw clear signs he has the backing of the players and the fans as he enjoyed his first win as Blackburn manager.
Rovers showed little evidence of player unrest as they overcame West Brom 3-1 in a compelling Barclays Premier League encounter at The Hawthorns that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.
Kean said: "I never felt there was a rebellion or that anyone didn't want to play. It is a buoyant dressing room.
"What is even more pleasing is that we had Paul Robinson, from the very first moment of the warm-up, feeling his calf. He wanted to give it a go and Michel Salgado was up all night being sick, but he wanted to play.
"To get a victory with lads that were a bit under the weather, and to play the way we did against a very good West Brom team, was fantastic, especially for the travelling fans.
"We have got great fans. At the last home game there was a bit of frustration because we didn't play well against Stoke. But it's not about them singing my name. I was delighted for them because they have travelled a lot with the team. We showed our togetherness. That hopefully can get the fans singing and we'll take them up to Sunderland."
