Steve Kean ready for important month ahead

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean is bracing his side for an important month of fixtures ahead following Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Rovers, who are currently 18th in the Premier League table, will face fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bolton Wanderers during March.

"We have a very good spell of games coming up," Kean told Sky Sports News. "It's a big month: the games we've got [against] teams around us."

Rovers next host Aston Villa on Saturday, March 3.
