Blackburn manager Steve Kean is confident that his side can get the necessary points to avoid relegation this term, and feels that the club have been hard done by in some refereeing decisions this season.
The Ewood Park club sit bottom of the Premier League currently on 11 points, but showed resolve to get a 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Boxing Day.
Despite acknowledging that his team were in a bad situation, the Scottish coach feels the Lancashire outfit will get out of the relegation mire.
“Of course we believe, absolutely no question,” he told Sky Sports.
“I believe even now, with our injuries, we can go back and look at some real tough decisions.
“I know everybody can do this, but we can go back and look at a last-minute penalty against Norwich, a last-minute penalty against Everton.
“There have been a number of games where we have just fallen the wrong side of decisions.
“I think we should already have six or seven more points, even though we have got so many defenders out injured.
“We are really confident if we have a good transfer window, which I am sure we will, and get these defenders back, then we will really fly out of the blocks in the second part of the season,” he concluded.
Blackburn face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday to complete 2011’s fixture list.
