Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has revealed he can now afford to
start looking ahead to next season's Premier League campaign.
Victory over east Lancashire rivals Burnley on Sunday took
Rovers through the psychological 40-point barrier.
With the team also 10th in the table, Allardyce is confident
that top-flight status is assured for another season, telling the
club's website: "I don't think there's any doubt about it now, that
is us building for next season.
"We can enjoy the run-in now that the pressure upon us is
relieved. We are already on the points total that we managed to
achieve last season and there are six games to go.
"Let's see how far we can finish, I'll try a few more players
along the way and let's try to be a bit more comfortable with our
Premier League experience.
"The last few weeks have been good particularly, so lets hope
this continues until the end of the season."
