Rovers have struggled to score goals this season and tried to sign both Aruna Dindane and Benjani in the January transfer window.
“Yes, the priority is another striker,” confirmed Allardyce.
“We’ve always been short of one thing this season, and that’s goals.
“Had we got more goals, it would have been the final element to an absolutely outstanding season, although up until now it’s still a very good one.
“So we are doing some planning, yes, even though mathematically we’re not safe.
“After beating Bolton 3-0 we were all talking about the fact we had put a 10-point gap between ourselves and third from bottom.
“Four games have gone on and we’re 14 points clear now, which means we are highly unlikely – although there’s still a possibility – of losing seven games on the trot.
“Equally it’s highly unlikely – but again a possibility – that some other team will win six or seven games on the trot to drag us into the bottom three.”
