Blackburn won the game 2-1, following goals from Morten Gamst Pedersen and Niko Kalinic. Gary Caldwell scored Wigan’s goal.
“We had numerous chances, scored two goals, and in the end we won the game comfortably,” assessed Allardyce.
“At times it was a bit scrappy, but it was a great, battling performance, and another three points.
“It’s the second time we’ve managed to get back-to-back wins this season, and what a difference it makes in the Premier League.
“It has shot us up to 11th, and we’ve started 2010 really well, so let’s keep it going, with everybody playing their part.
“It’s looking good for us. If we can go on a little undefeated run now, starting at West Ham, then we’re looking okay.”
