Great signing, for Derby

I struggle to see what he offers. Has provided just one memorable moment for me and that was his goal against Watford. Conversely, recall him missing an absolute sitter (at Preston???) that cost us points and a play-off place (missed out on goal difference). Read somewhere that in three and a half seasons for Rovers, he has netted just 7 league goals and roughly the same number of assists. That is both shocking and embarrassing for an experienced senior offensive player. Makes Dolan seem prolific (achieved similar numbers last season alone). If Hedges is the answer then I fail to understand the feckin question!

Hedges is terrible

If Rovers had anything about them, they’d have a space for him at Ewood to be a barber for fans.

No wonder we never signed him if Jack wanted to build a stand for their rivals! 😁

Shocking match between Bunting and Joyce to end the action last night. Bet Humphries is thinking "Why couldn't I have got one of them?" Not that you can ever get lucky or unlucky with a draw etc.!

No, but BRFCS, a self-funded fan website, does in the Match Centre: https://brfcs.com/football/match/1386555/west-brom-blackburn It'll only show during a game and for 48 hours after full time, though. Should self update with any majors.

Which other widemen have we had in recent years with a return better than that? " Instagrammable Ryan Hedges"? Last season Dolan equalled Hedges output in the 4 years Hedges has been at the Club. But Im sure you know that already.

Lives in Buckshaw

Been saying it for ages, anyone who comes out with the "Dolan and Hedges" tripe mustn't actually watch them playing.

I’m great knowing you’re incapable of a coherent argument.

Looks like Yousef Salech on the move from Cardiff as well, fits the mould but would imagine they want a sizeable fee for him.

Awwww….you ok hun? 😩🤣

That's Pol Valentin at Preston. Valery still at Wednesday for time being.

The point is that we have over a considerable period of time failed to recruit successfully to fill the wide positions. So I dont think it will be this easy task that Paul Mani suggested. Dolan is a loss. If Dolan goes above us, he may well come up short. Better players than him have, Brereton, Armstrong etc. But it doesnt mean that their move was the wrong one. They were right to try and better themselves, they experienced football at a higher level, and in a worst case scenario, you fall back down to the same level you were at (with more money in your pocket) having experienced somethig better than just an indefinite stay at a club with no ambition of pushing on and not paying players to a competitive level.

Don’t think that was him

Its 6 goals and 4 assists more than Hedges so instagram must be a powerful tool. Hedges isnt an average Championship winger, he offers nothing in attack. Dolan does. He is a decent Championship winger, so if he did end up at Bristol City, on a higher wage, that would seem a reasonable move, not worthy of a yawn nor a prediction of being in League 1 in a couple of seasons. That I suspect is a prediction to loosely justify the forced Nyambe comparison. You also seem to think that having absolutely zero ambition is a good thing. Why does he think he is "so much better" than us just because he left at the end of his contract, rejecting one he didnt seem to be sufficient (like many of our players do) and in the meantime giving 100% in every game?

We had 200 games to judge him. I’m completely fine with mine. Respect you may not agree. That’s ok.

This list is a bit wild Khadra was better than Dolan but unfortunately he’s gone the Dack route. Two ACLs Kargbo we have barely seen. Giles is a full back and Denis is a centre forward You did well to try and pad it out but the only person who belongs on the list is Sigurdson. For all intents and purposes he looked better than Dolan - could certainly finish better - but for whatever reason didn’t cut the mustard in other ways. Maybe fitness. But what a low bar set. It will be interesting to see how Dolan does. I am in the camp of this will be his peak. If he moves above us and sustains it I would be surprised. He may get a decent move here on a free but his overall game is too poor for the top leagues, and he isn’t good enough for a top table championship club either. Derby seems the obvious choice.

Dolans output is embarrassing for me and him? You’re a strange chap. Genuinely never read so much shite. TD being an ‘instagrammable Ryan Hedges’ is also possibly the worst take of anything ever written on this site. It’s up there with Venkys never refuse to sign a cheque. Groundbreaking stuff!

My mistake it was Valentin who Preston signed

Yang Valery signed for preston earlier in thr summer

I do agree I think he’s been badly advised or his own perception might be slightly miscued. However Dolan is a decent championship player and to compare him to hedges is laughable really I’m fine with people having their own opinions but when debating or making comparisons at least do it with something tangible to back it up

If we're looking for a Brittain replacement, I reckon we could do worse than Yan Valery at Sheffield Wednesday. 3 goals, 4 assists last year in 40 odd games for them last season. Played a number of games in the Premier League for Southampton, attack minded, tall and pacey. If they're selling Gassama for £2.5m, then sure we could get Valery for £1m or less.
