One of the main reasons they have been unable to perform well this season is the long list of injuries they have incurred since the beginning of the season. The most recent addition to the injury list is goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Robinson-c29389, who sustained a calf tear.
Kean admitted that while he was looking forward to his key players return to action, he was determined to spend in the winter transfer window. The Scotsman planned on bringing reinforcements, who would undoubtedly strengthen the team.
He said while speaking to reports:
“I think we need four signings and if we can get that amount and get them quickly and together with those coming out of the treatment room I think we can climb the table quickly.
If we can get established players bedded into the team immediately it will give everyone a lift.”
According to Kean, the January transfer window was an important part of the season since it gave teams the chance to bring in new players and strengthen the existing team. He said they were hoping the injured players would recover quickly, in time for the
second half of the season.
Kean revealed:
“January is important, but so is getting the medical lads working their magic in the treatment room - they have to earn their money getting these boys pushed out.
We are a tight group and this experience for the younger guys in the team will stand them in good stead.”
The Rovers manager admitted they had not been in the best of forms, but was confident of improving after the January transfer window. They face second place Manchester United over the weekend, on New Year’s Eve.
He said:
“We have not got as many results as we should have got but we will improve.”
