Blackburn Rovers are committed on all levels to securing their Premier League survival in the closing weeks of the season. That is the declaration from striker Jason Roberts who believes that Rovers are in a position that is 'not good enough for a club like this'.

 

The striker who is currently out with a stress fracture of the foot has told fans that the squad is focussed on getting themselves out of the mess they have created for themselves during the season. Despite the improvement since the appointment of Sam Allardyce as manager. The Ewood Park club still find themselves in deep trouble at the wrong end of the table.

Roberts also maintained that he will not be rushed back prematurely from his injury. "With a bone injury you have to be very, very careful. I can't imagine playing unless it is right” he said.

Blackburn’s Chilean striker Carlos Villanueva wants to stay beyond his loan spell despite only recently making his debut, according to his agent. Although Birmingham City are rumoured to be interested, the 23-year olds preference is to stay in the North West.
