Dann appeals to Blackburn fans for support

Blackburn defender Scott Dann has asked Blackburn fans to get behind the side and help them avoid relegation.

Since returning from a five-week lay-off after suffering a ruptured testicle, Dann has helped Steve Kean's side to four points in as many games and he believes the support of the the Ewood Park crowd have played a part.

"The fans have been protesting against the owners and the manager rather than the players," Dann told The National.

"You just have to shut it out of your mind, but it hasn't affected us as much as people think and in the last four or five weeks - especially since we won at Manchester United with a really young team - the fans have really been getting behind us.

"I hope they can do that until the end of the season and that we can stay up."
