ROVERS have only just hit their first bad patch. They'll soon bounce back from it at the end of this month and next month will tell. As far as Kevin Gallacher is concerned they should only look at his disciplinary record now and they will see that he is not a violent player. He should have had a fairer trial.

JOHN ASHWORTH, Blackburn. AFTER Saturday's game the title seems out of our grasp, it's time for the fans to get behind the team and cheer us on to a great day out at the FA Cup Final May. I for one will be be giving it 100 per cent effort.

GARETH G WOODWARD, Darwen I THINK that Kevin Gallacher was very unfairly treated. As you can see on the video footage, it was plain to see that he hardly touched the player. Gallacher has had a very unfair hearing.
