Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Ince faces a must-win game this Saturday against Wigan Athletic.

The Daily Star says Ince will not be dumped this week despite a miserable run of 10 Premier League matches without victory. But his position is under huge scrutiny from the Blackburn hierarchy, who may be forced to act if Rovers fail to get maximum points at the JJB Stadium.

Rovers face a crucial spell of matches this month with clashes against fellow relegation candidates Stoke and Sunderland - and a poor return from that group of games could spell disaster.

Ewood Park insiders have revealed Ince will have at least until the trip to Wigan to turn things around, but defeat might prove the final straw.
