CONCERNING 'Dahlin poser', who can really say should he go or should he stay?

He hasn't played enough games for anyone really to assess him properly, has he? So I think until they know, he should stay.

He's not in the Swedish team for nothing, is he?

NICK CLARKE, Moss Street, Blackburn.

I THINK the rest of the team should go as well as Martin Dahlin, the way they are all playing.

CHRISTIAN MORRIS, Park Street, Haslingden.

I THINK it's wrong for Roy Hodgson to blame the forwards and I think it's wrong that the LET ask whether Dahlin should go.

It doesn't matter how good or bad he is, if you look at the league table you'll find that it's the defence that's at fault.

There are only five teams with more against than us, and they're in the bottom half of the table.

Now I think that speaks volumes and I also believe that the problem with Blackburn Rovers is in the midfield, excepting Billy McKinlay.

As far as I am concerned, Tim Sherwood and Garry Flitcroft, although honest, are not up to it. They have produced nothing, they create nothing and they take no weight off the back four and therein lies the problem.

But I think it's wrong entirely for Hodgson to blame Dahlin. As bad as he's been, he's scored goals.

ARTHUR FINCH, Coral Way, Blackburn.

FORGET about Martin Dahlin, it's the Rovers board that are to blame for the lack of ambition in the transfer market.

It started last summer and not signing anybody before the transfer deadline has put the tin hat on it.

MR DUCKWORTH, Cardigan Street, Ashton-on-Ribble, Preston.

I DON'T think Hodgson should have bought Martin Dahlin as he must have known how bad he was.

I think he should definitely be sold.
