JUSSI Jaaskelainen is enjoying his football too much to grumble about his lack of clean sheets at Wanderers this season.

Despite shutting out the opposition only once in the league since March, the Big Finn is revelling in his team’s transformation as the top flight’s great entertainers.

Thirteen goals in the last four games has helped the Whites rocket into fifth place – and secure what is now officially their best goalscoring start to a Premier League campaign.

So with a home game against old rivals Blackpool on the horizon this weekend, Jaaskelainen is hoping the points column will continue to tick over.

“I haven’t been too upset because we’ve been winning games,” said the long-serving keeper. “I think we have been really unlucky a couple of times – the Wigan game and the West Brom game, their goal was offside, or Liverpool nicking one right in the last second.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about three points. I’m sure as the season goes on, we’ll get a run of clean sheets, but at the moment we’re scoring goals for fun.

“If you look at last season, especially when the new manager came in, we played well but didn’t score enough goals. That meant clean sheets were very important.

“Now, you can see that the confidence is growing and that we’re always worth a couple of goals a game.”

Wanderers’ form has increased transfer speculation around some of their key names, including top scorer Johan Elmander and centre-half Gary Cahill.

But the talk doesn’t faze Jaaskelainen, who is set to pass the 500-game mark as a Whites player early next year.

“I have seen it before, and it’s just the way football is,” said the 35-year-old.

“When you are playing well, it will always be the case. The big clubs are looking for big players.

“If you are scoring goals or defending well, then you’ll be the kind of player who is catching someone’s eye.”

Jaaskelainen has been impressed with Saturday’s opponents Blackpool, who have confounded the pundits by taking 18 points from their first 14 games to sit comfortably in mid-table.

“They have taken on their good form from last season,” he said. “They have done fantastically well and played football the way they want to.

“You respect them for that but hopefully we can work hard on Saturday and take some points.

“They are only four points behind us, so I don’t think we are heavy favourites. We are playing well but if we forget to do the basics or work hard as a team, then that quality won’t show.”

Jaaskelainen was also proud to announce that, after a final count, events during his testimonial year raised a massive £100,000 for local causes Paws For Kids, Birtenshaw Hall and Miller’s Nook Riding School.

“It’s brilliant,” he said. “Everyone involved has done a fantastic job raising that amount of money.

“It wasn’t as easy as it looked, setting up the game and the golf day, but I’d like to say a massive thanks to all the fans and people who supported them.

“I had a special day at the Reebok, with the dinner afterwards, and it will stay in my memory for a long, long time.”
