Sean O'Driscoll exceeded expectations by steering Rovers away from relegation and into a respectable mid-table position going into the final week of the current campaign.[LNB]And Ryan told the Sheffield Star: "We'd have been happy with fourth from bottom but to get a mid-table position is absolutely fantastic - a great testament to the team and the manager.[LNB]"He [O'Driscoll] stuck to his principles playing attacking quality football on the ground, which not many people in the Championship do and I think we got our just rewards.[LNB]"If you take our form from Christmas until the end of the season we'd be second in the league and that's over a long period of time of 20-odd games, so it just shows we are capable there's no doubt about it.[LNB]"There's no-one in the Championship I would say would frighten us, we beat all the teams in there, no-one has outplayed us and we feel we will be stronger next year. You've got to aim for the top, if you don't you shouldn't be in the league."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
