Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce says the academy is producing good talent after Phil Jones' winning debut in last night's Carling Cup clash with Nottingham Forest.

"He was the star of the night, he was the shining light in a good solid performance and a 1-0 victory and that all important clean sheet."
