Sam switches back to league action
BLACKBURN boss Sam Allardyce immediately turned his attention back to the Barclays Premier League after avoiding an FA Cup shock at Blyth last night.
Allardyce's men won 1-0 at Croft Park, and survived a major scare five minutes from time when substitute Andrew Wright came within inches of cancelling out Carlos Villanueva's winner.
Allardyce rested his entire first team against the Blue Square North side but said: "We hadn't lost in three matches – now we haven't lost in four. These lads have done well, but I can't see me making too many changes."
