Injury-hit Rovers - who currently sit four points from safety in the Premier League after just two wins in 18 games - picked up a hard-fought point in the 1-1 with Liverpool on Boxing Day, but Kean is adamant he needs to bring in new recruits. And the Rovers boss - whose keeper Paul Robinson is the latest name on the casualty list after picking up a calf tear - is also hopeful of seeing his injured stars return quickly. "I think we need four signings and if we can get that amount and get them quickly and together with those coming out of the treatment room I think we can climb the table quickly," said Kean. "If we can get established players bedded into the team immediately it will give everyone a lift. "January is important, but so is getting the medical lads working their magic in the treatment room - they have to earn their money getting these boys pushed out. "We are a tight group and this experience for the younger guys in the team will stand them in good stead. "We have not got as many results as we should have got but we will improve." Blackburn head to Old Trafford on New Year's Eve - the scene of a 7-1 mauling last season - and will be looking to beat Manchester United for the first time since February 2006 when a David Bentley hat-trick inspired a 4-3 win.
