NEIL Bramwell (LET, April 22) is right - these so-called Rovers' supporters are wrong to criticise any of the side's forwards at Southampton.

The fact is that Stephane Henchoz had to go off and the defence was up against an ex-Rover in James Beattie who has found his niche after having the same treatment as Kevin Davies (when he was at Ewood), and obviously wanted to prove a point to them.

Get off the lad's back and you'll see the real Davies and what he is capable of.
