SAM Allardyce has warned his Blackburn Rovers side it is vital they do not ease up now as bids to ensure a brighter Ewood Park Premier League future.
The Rovers boss stressed to his players yesterday morning that the threat of relegation was still hanging over their heads, before pointing to the financial rewards, collectively and individually, of climbing the Premier League table.
Allardyce’s men travel to Champions League chasing Tottenham tomorrow lunchtime 10 points clear of the drop zone but, with a daunting season run-in ahead, the Rovers boss knows nothing can be taken for granted.
He is also determined to see his side finish as high up the table as possible, with an extra £750,000 cash pot available for every improved position, having been promised any extra revenue as part of summer budget.
He said: “I stressed the dangers that are still there this morning to the players.
"We have had a look at what is coming up and we have to make sure we upset one of the bigger clubs that we are going to play in the very near future.
“We were always planning our season to say we must be safe or very, very nearly safe by this time.
"Because a lot of the teams we are playing are above us out of the last 10.
“Our strive for safety could have been taken one step further by getting at least a draw at Liverpool but we haven’t got it.
"Hopefully we can get something against Tottenham and we will move on from there.
“We have got Chelsea very shortly and obviously Birmingham and Burnley and we have to accumulate the points as quick as we can and secure that safety in a very difficult 10 fixtures.
"But the form we are in and the squad we have got available I am very confident we will do very, very well.”

We really need to play a match before this site disappears up it's own arse.Nothing to moan about nothing to blame Sam for,even Jeppo has started to forget what he's so positive about,bring on the Spurs and quick about it.A point for the rovers I think as a favour to Rafa. Just seen Tony Gale give Rafa a right slating on sky sports.could he be next to feel the wrath of Rafa.

This looks to me like it's the mind game tactics that Fergie & Wenger play but BFS style. i think someone should advise him of the following a) Mind games only work on the people who they are aimed at, if they have a brains - evidently and as everybody knows a) Playing for managing BRFC b) Being supprters of BRFC the main condition attached to these for classification is that - People with Brains are not allowed to participate, be associated with, or make any such claims. The main exception of course is having the IQ of an amoeba. Judging from the BRFC fans who seem to have the illusion BRFC will win at the Turf I think 40% in first category and 60% the second. Ooooohh Sam fancy trying that on with your lot. :-)))))) LOL no, sorry I'm Laughing my socks off

Ooooohh Sam fancy trying that on with your lot. :-)))))) LOL no, sorry I'm Laughing my socks offSounds like you have been imbibing too much of your own Vintage Claret (or more likely Diamond White). . Vintage, if you seriously wish to have a go at the intelligence of Rovers supporters, then it really behoves you to be able to write in: a) English b) sentences. . Now, do you see what I did there? I made a couple of points where a) was followed by b). Not a) then a) and finally b). . What does "if they have a brains" mean? Is this some strange affliction for Burnley folk?...most unlikely if you ask me. Much more probable that your Dingle chums would have half a brain, rather than plural. . Read your script again. It probably is the most convoluted piece of gobbledegook that I have ever read. . I would make a suggestion that your IQ is in single digits and would welcome taking you on at any intellectual challenge of your choice. I am sure that, even if you were given the answers beforehand, that I would still send you back home with your tail between your legs. . If you want to come and visit the Rovers site and try to take the Mick - make sure you make sense before pressing the "send comment" button. . I do not normally criticise others comments for English and spelling - but when they come on here and question the intellectual capacity of Rovers fans, then you are unfortunately "fair game".

Vintage Claret - you should be more worried about Whether you can handle a pack of Wolves this week never mind the Lions arriving on the 28th. . Still in the absence of Midas, RAyzer etc who learn't there lesson after bragging before the last derby on here its nice to have you to giggle at! . 31st YEAR AND COUNTING! p.s. a vintage claret is a Bordeaux - a long long way away from Dingleland.
