Blackburn have blanked league opponents 13 times (including ManU and Arsenal) this season but I can't remember if Brad missed a game in there or not. Brad has 4 clean sheets out of his last 5 games and 5 out of the last 7. No clue where that ranks.
After trying to count, I checked Yahoo Fantasy - and I believe they list Brad with 13, Cudicini and Given with 12, and Dudek and Wright have 11.
I think Blackburn has what it takes to sqeeze into Europe. But to survive in Europe next season they are 1-2 players away from being a top quality side. Maybe Reyna if healthy could help. I think Blackburn would be in a heap of trouble if they didn't have best keeper in the EPL.
I think they are maybe one defender away from having a pretty solid d. With Gresko playing well and Lucas Neill, etc., they need to look for one more. In the midfield, someone to play the right wing with Dunn and Tugay in the middle and Duff on the left would really solidify them. Up top, they should be pretty formidable if Sukur gets comfortable, Yorke and Cole stay, and Jansen returns to healthy form. They are finally starting to take care of the teams they need to (Charlton, Fulham). Now, if they can maintain their giant killer role too, they should be in Europe with no trouble.
Blackburn has a good outlook for next season, but there are so many rumors flying around about who they are going to lose in off season transfers, specificlly Duff, that you don't know what is going to happen.
He is obviously in great form right now, I hope he stays loyal to Blackburn. However, I know it would be hard to turn down the money these other clubs will be throwing his way. Souness said he would let him go if he wanted to go, but not just for a good offer. If they want to be a side to be reckoned with,they can't get in the business of selling their stars off to the glamour clubs. They have proven they could win the whole thing...so who's to say they can't do it again sometime soon?
