The form of young goalkeeper Jake Kean has impressed Blackburn Rovers manager Michael Appleton. Kean's form is currently keeping former England international Paul Robinson out of the side. Appleton said: "He's obviously a lad who's had an opportunity and his reputation is growing game by game. "He's got half a chance, the kid. At the start of the season he was probably third-choice goalkeeper and he's taken the mantle on and he's earned the right to be number-one keeper at the minute."
