STEVE Kean believes Blackburn Rovers still hold their Premier League fate in their own hands after insisting a winning end to the season would secure top flight safety.

Rovers will travel to Spurs tomorrow at least three points away from safety but Kean is adamant avoiding a disastrous relegation is very much down to them.

Depending on today’s results, Rovers could even be six points adrift of the fourth from bottom side before kick off at White Hart Lane tomorrow, but Kean says the focus is just on staying unbeaten for the rest of the campaign.

He said: “I can understand people saying it is out of our hands to a certain extent but if we get three wins we’ll be safe. So I think we can look at the table and think if we beat Tottenham and Wigan and then the last game we would definitely be safe and maybe even safe before that.

“We need to take each game by game but we need to try and win at least two games. If we get three wins we’ll be safe and we might even need even less than that. We can’t look at the Tottenham game and think it does not matter. We need to get points and try and win.

“It’s massive. We’re in a situation where we know where we are. We’re running out of games and teams around us are picking up points. We need to take something from every game.”

Rovers are considered many people’s favourites for the drop now, with away games against Spurs and Chelsea making their final three matches look daunting.

Kean though insists at this stage of the season form goes out of the window with teams fighting for their lives for very different reasons.

“We have a job to do which is to go out and win games,” he said. “The players know the consequences of not being in the division as do every member of staff and supporter from all over the world. Everyone is praying we get the points.

“We don’t say to the players anything about people losing their jobs. We just talk about the next thing we can affect which is Tottenham.

“We’ll try and get three wins out of three. If you try in that manner and go unbeaten until the end of the season I’m convinced that would be enough.

“They are almost like cup competit-ions – cup finals. Tottenham will probably think the same way about getting a Champions League position.

“We’re trying to stay in the league.

“It’s not a case where form comes into it, we won our last game and kept a clean sheet. They have had a tough period but we know how good a squad they have even if they have four or five out.

“You’re as well not looking at the league and not focusing on anything else apart from your own three games. We have had a good training week and know inside out what we have to do ourselves.”
