Kean Beginning To Win Battle

Rovers showed little evidence of player unrest as they overcame West Brom 3-1 in a compelling Barclays Premier League encounter at The Hawthorns that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.

Kean said: "I never felt there was a rebellion or that anyone didn't want to play. It is a buoyant dressing room.

"What is even more pleasing is that we had Paul Robinson, from the very first moment of the warm-up, feeling his calf. He wanted to give it a go and Michel Salgado was up all night being sick, but he wanted to play.

"To get a victory with lads that were a bit under the weather, and to play the way we did against a very good West Brom team, was fantastic, especially for the travelling fans.

"We have got great fans. At the last home game there was a bit of frustration because we didn't play well against Stoke. But it's not about them singing my name. I was delighted for them because they have travelled a lot with the team. We showed our togetherness. That hopefully can get the fans singing and we'll take them up to Sunderland."
