‘Fighter’ Kean vows to battle on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Blackburn manager Steve Kean has vowed to fight on despite his side suffering their 10th Premier League defeat of the season as they lost 2-1 to West Brom.<\/p>\n

Peter Odemwingie’s late winner prompted boos from the unhappy Rovers fans.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he would quit Kean said: “No, I consider myself a fighter.”<\/p>\n

Blackburn face bottom side Bolton next and Kean vowed: “We will get in tomorrow [Sunday] and prepare for Tuesday’s game – we’ll get the three points if we deserve the three points.”<\/p>\n

\"Blackburn Banners were displayed at Ewood Park following their defeat to West Brom<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rovers boss added: “After that game the table will hopefully look better.”<\/p>\n

Ahead of the match fans had promised to postpone their protests for the next two games, but anti-Kean banners were soon on display at Ewood Park.<\/p>\n

And with just one point separating Blackburn from Bolton, Tuesday’s derby between the bottom two sides has been given an added edge.<\/p>\n

Kean said his side need “to show some courage” if they are to pull away from the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

“The fans are frustrated, same as the staff and players inside the dressing room,” he added.<\/p>\n

“We want to be winning games, especially at home, and we haven’t today so it makes Tuesday’s game massive, if it wasn’t massive already.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got to show courage and I don’t mean courage as far as challenges and tackles, I mean courage in our next home game to get on the ball and dictate play and try to make some better clear-cut chances.<\/p>\n

“I felt that today we didn’t create clear-cut chances in the manner that we normally do.”<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
