West Brom boss Roy Hodgson lends his support to under-fire Blackburn manager Steve Kean.

West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson has given under-fire Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean his support after the Baggies' 2-1 win at Ewood Park.

Peter Odemwingie's last-minute strike condemed Rovers to their 11th defeat of the season.

"He is showing a lot of dignity," said Hodgson. "I always stand behind managers in these situations. I think it is too easy to try and put all the ills of a football club's playing staff down to one man. It is often a lot more complicated than that.

"It is not my business what Blackburn Rovers do, but if Steve does lose his job, I will feel very sorry for him."

Blackburn face a crucial league match on Tuesday when they entertain fellow strugglers Bolton Wanderers.
