No place like home for Allardyce
Sam Allardyce believes a touch of potent home brew is responsible for Blackburn edging to safety.[LNB]Ewood Park has become a bit of fortress since December when the former Newcastle and Bolton boss took charge. Blackburn entertain Portsmouth looking to build on a record of only one defeat in nine league games on their own patch.[LNB]A victory will surely assure Rovers of Premier League football again next season.[LNB]Allardyce said: "I would consider us safe if we make it to 40 points. Let's do it with two games to spare. It will be a tense, nervous affair. We know that one win wherever can change the whole shape of the table. We have to use all our experience.[LNB]"There has been a great turnaround of form at Ewood Park and it could have been even better. Four wins, four draws and only one defeat is very good considering where we started from.[LNB]"The players look forward to playing at home especially as there has been such a good atmosphere the last few games. The key has been our good defensive work. That has given the attacking players a platform to work on to get the goals we need to win a game."
