Sam Szmodics is targeting the Championship golden boot and survival ahead of two massive games for Blackburn Rovers.

John Eustace's side know a win against Coventry City, coupled with favourable results elsewhere, will ensure they are a second-tier club again next season.

Szmodics' goals have been crucial to ensuring they've stayed above the dotted line. Rovers' star man scooped up the Fans' and Players' Player of the season award at the in-house award on Tuesday night.

With two games left, the Irishman leads Adam Armstrong by five, with Saints' league campaign effectively over with a play-off place secured.

Szmodics is taking nothing for granted though and would love to add a personal honour alongside the relief of securing Rovers' place in the division.

“I don’t want to jinx anything because Adam Armstrong’s five goals behind and he can score six goals in two games," Szmodics admitted.

“It’d be amazing for us to stay in the league and to win the top goal-scorer award would top it off for me.

“Scoring so early in the season, you stop chasing that first goal and I’ve just gone on a mad run.

“I’d say that you feel like you can’t miss, but I missed a sitter at the weekend. I hope I can add a couple more in the last two games, though

“It’s been a mad season for me with all the goals I’ve scored. The lads have passed me the ball and I’ve managed to score! Sometimes they make it simple and sometimes they make it tough.

“It’s confidence and momentum, so hopefully that can continue. It’s obviously been the best season of my whole career, but it’s been a tough season in terms of where we are in the table.

“The boys, though, we’re all so together and get through it every day and we have two massive games to come."
