STEVE Kean has urged his Blackburn Rovers side to concentrate on finishing this season on a high rather than merely scraping over the line in their bid for survival.

Results elsewhere will determine whether Rovers already have enough points to survive, and a point at Wolves on the final day of the season may yet put the issue beyond any doubt.

Rovers host champions elect Manchester United at Ewood Park on Saturday before their trip to Molineux and Kean has told his players to simply focus on getting as many points as they can rather than doing just enough.

The 2010/11 season has been a difficult campaign for Rovers but the Scot wants to end it on a rather more optimistic note, having guided his side to four points from their last two games.

“We’ve got six points to play for so let’s go and get as many as we can,” said Kean.

“We took massive positives from the Manchester City game, when we felt we deserved a point at least, and then we beat Bolton and got another point at West Ham.

“So it’s little steps that keep the team’s momentum going and keep us ticking over.

“We want to finish on a high if we can. We’ll set up to play against Manchester United and put more points on the board.”

Rovers claimed victory on their last outing at Ewood Park, with Martin Olsson’s goal enough to secure a 1-0 win over Bolton.

But they had gone without a win in five home games prior to that and Kean knows that is something that must be addressed next season.

Asked how the club have to improve next term, he said: “I think you put more wins on the board.

“If you look at our home form over the last couple of seasons it’s been very strong.

“We’ve drawn against Newcastle, West Ham, Blackpool and Birmingham and obviously if those don’t pan out as wins you put a little bit of extra pressure on yourselves away from home.

“But we’ve just got to forget about next season now, we’re still in this season with games against Manchester United and Wolves and we’ve taken points from five of the last seven games.

“You take the positives. If you looked at the Manchester City game, we had them for 25 minutes in the second half where I think we had 85 per cent of possession.

“What you’ve got to do is when you play against teams and you don’t get a positive result, you look at the bits that have to improve, which is scoring goals, but from the City game we took massive positives and went into the Bolton game, which was a hard game but we beat them.

“Then we went to West Ham and it had been a long time since we won there, but we got our noses in front and were probably a little bit disappointed we didn’t hang on.”
