And none of that adds to Dolans abilities. For me Dolan was a poor player who had the odd good game for the Rovers. 

I wish we still had him.

You don't fake Dolan's abilities. You coach him to produce his best consistently. Playing with and against much better players in La Liga is getting far more out of him than we did at Rovers.

The experience might also be instilling the footballing brain that was all too often lacking at Ewood.

Rigger painted himself into the Markanday corner (now in the fourth division) and still won’t put his hand up that he got that one wrong.

He wasn’t alone to be honest Matty, I questioned many times if those posters seats faced the pitch who thought he was poor.

Dolan was a good player here, an exciting player that got fans out of seats at times. I too wish we still had him.

I didn't paint myself into a corner. I stated my opinion, which I stick to. For me, Markanday was a better player than Dolan, and neither of them where good enough to be the Rovers first team starters. We now have even more that fall into that category.

So, tbc, you're insisting that tier 4 Markanday is better than La Liga Dolan?

Yes. If it is hard for you to understand my opinion that is on you. Why do you keep asking the same question.  Do you expect a different answer ?

I think it’s more that people struggle to understand still holding that viewpoint, with the change in their career trajectories tbh.

You realise this makes you sound insane, right?

It's literally the first time I've asked you that. If it is hard for you to understand that I'm not other people, that is on you. If you're stubborn enough to insist a League Two player is better than a La Liga regular and come in for a bit of flak, that's also on you.
