Rovers keeper Pears aiming for six of the best

Blackburn goalkeeper Aynsley Pears has set his sights on a sixth straight clean sheet when Rovers head to Millwall on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

The 26-year-old has kept the opposition out in 10 of his 20 Championship games - the joint-fourth most in the division.

Pears told the club website: "It's really good, we're really happy and it's a big goal of mine to keep as many as I can.

"It means we're all doing our jobs, not just myself, and getting 10 out of 20 is pretty amazing and something we need to keep up."

After six straight wins, Rovers are up fifth in the table, five points behind the automatic promotion places, with a game in hand.

"It's been a brilliant start but there's a long way to go and we're all really focused to keep it going," Pears added.

"We pride ourselves in being solid and hard to beat, and the forwards do their jobs. We're defending very well as a team and we're all happy and proud of one another.

"You can't rest for a minute. I'm desperate to keep a clean sheet, it's what I'm thinking about every minute of every game."
