Rovers return: Sam Allardyce wants more goals from Benni McCarthy

Allardyce said: 'All Benni has to do is play like we all know he can and score me some goals. That way he will stay in the team. If that's the case, there's no need for him to go anywhere else, unless somebody comes in with a massive offer.'
