I AM very disappointed to see Rovers in the First Division again. I think certain players must be to blame for they have not tried hard enough.

At least eight players should be put on the transfer list and better players brought into the club.

Players like Kevin Davies, Christian Dailly and Keith Gillespie have looked very poor buys.

We have never replaced Colin Hendry properly and all the injuries and suspensions have been disastrous.

I don't think they can play as badly next season and think they should be at the top of the league.

It won't be easy though, and only 100 per cent triers in the team will be good enough. Players like Ashley Ward and Lee Carsley will do well in this division. More players like these should be brought in.

Brian Kidd should have a good holiday and then sort the club out.
