    Lee Brown has admitted he and his team-mates are letting supporters down with some of their performances this season. Brown delivered the stark assessment in the wake of the side's 3-1 League Two defeat by Chesterfield.

    Brown said:

    "Fans travelled three-and-a-half hours and we put on that performance. It's just not right. The players need to look at themselves because it's definitely the players' fault at the moment."

    Rovers have only won seven of their 28 league games this season and are currently fourth from bottom, one point above the relegation zone. After two successive losses, they host third-placed Oxford United at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

    Brown continued:

    "Every player has to manage himself. I've personally got to manage myself and others have to manage themselves to make sure they give themselves the best chance of being consistent. We are definitely looking over our shoulders. It's nowhere near good enough. This club isn't a Conference club, we can't let that happen. It's no time to be shirking."

    Too bloody right.

    Time for them to rectify matters against Oxford on Saturday. But I still think that Ward should give Clarkson and Norburn a run out - and maybe Santos. Harrison just doesn't look the part at the moment so he should be rested. And don't play Lockyer in midfield <grr>

    I really don't see why Ward is not keen on playing Norburn when he's the most creative player we have. Tom Parkes said before the Chesterfield game to expect a reaction from the Accrington game. Well, if that's what he meant...
