First start tonight. Playing really well.

Espanyol fans absolutely raving about him here.

[Madon]

I've been watching it, he played awesome in the first half!

Can only assume the standard in La Liga is shite then.

[Mattyblue]

English League 1 standard, obviously.

[Wheelton Blue]

I've watched both Espanyol games so far, tonight's game was entertaining.

Dolan has done well so far on the right wing. His crossing has noticeably improved.

Can only assume that some members of the Ewood Park jury were wrong.

When is he disappearing without trace Nyambe style then ?

[Silas]

Not being funny, but there's all high praise on here, but google has him lowest ranked of the 6 attacking players.

He's actually joint second lowest from the entire Espanyol team at 3.7.

Haven't watched a minute since he's been gone. But there's either some misty eyed confirmation bias going on from his longstanding supporters.

Or google is way off the mark. 

To quantify, google is pretty close to the mark on Rovers games etc I do watch. Certainly ballpark. 

So something doesn't add up here.

I'll make an effort to view with my own eyes though, just to head off the cheerleader backlash. 😉

The fact he's even at a club like that starting games in La Lige kind of suggests he was never as crap as his constant knockers on here like to make out.

Frustrating yes, crap ..no.

I think most of the frustration from Rovers fans were down to us believing that there was a player in there - he just never seemed to grow out of the unnecessary stepovers and pivots.

Had he stuck to the basics and worked harder on things like crossing and finishing, he'd be much higher rated.

However, hopefully a fresh start for him will help him kick on.
