Tyrone Shoelaces Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 The trouble with Dolan is when he has a bad game it’s really bad. Dog shit level. Hedges has about one decent game in five. Not good enough and never will be. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversfan99 Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Exactly. If either does stay then I think they still have to prove their worth and it would likely be as squad players. Players like that wont take us anywhere if we have a slither of ambition. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 With a decent scouting system and the right backing (lol I know) this kid would be replaced so easily. Quite simply one hugely frustrating footballer who we won’t miss when he does leave at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rated Dolan highly and I would offer him a new 4 years contract. Hedges is someone I rated and I think some people low ball his quality he has. No one was under rated him when he scored at Norwich away or last season at Watford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted October 5, 2024 Backroom Share Posted October 5, 2024 I'd be okay with Dolan and Hedges continuing as squad players with a wage that reflects that. I think both are good options to come off the bench, for different reasons. I wouldn't want them re-signing as first team players with wages reflecting that, as I just don't think either are in that bracket if we have any serious ambition to ever get out of this league. Now, if you're factoring in Venky's, our lack of budget and the chances of us signing worse than Dolan and Hedges as replacements... well, it's a different conversation. Depends how much faith you have in the recruitment team continuing to work with what is likely to be a minuscule budget. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only at venky rovers would these two be considered good enough for the starting 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you do so suggests that as is the case, he doesnt score very many. In most games, he does what he did today, practically nothing.

Mercer Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 I can't stand Dolan. I think he is a little upstart and a gobshite and his ability level matches his small physical stature. We need shut and fast. If any club is willing to pay a fee then snatch their hand off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedges is someone I rated and I think some people low ball his quality he has. No one was under rated him when he scored at Norwich away or last season at Watford Hedges stats speak for themselves. He contributes very little from an attacking perspective. One goal a year ago doesn’t change that. He’s a good footballer though, and he works hard. I can see why Eustace picks him in that regard, but he just doesn’t offer enough goals or assists to make him a good attacking option in the Championship.

ABBEY Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 when he came and first started I had high hopes . my hopes now is he (which he wont) loses the arrogance and realise he ain't as good as he thinks he is. it's all well and good having arrogance , swagger and the big I am attitude if you can back it up and he can't. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitro Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 I think that the three managers he has played under here will have seen how erratic his decision making is and tried to change him. His fancy flicks, too many touches, losing possession, turning into trouble and other things are part of his make up now and I don't believe he has the wherewithal to change. For me it's time to get rid and I would be looking to sell him in January if there are any suitors. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve probably defended him more than most but he’s going backwards at the moment because the flaws in his game have never been ironed out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankEnd Rover Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 Need to sell and I wouldn’t support an increase in salary contract. When he performes he’s effective but that’s not enough, the rest of his games are way below championship standard. If a decent fee comes calling in January then we should sell.

DeeCee Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 From what I saw yesterday, Dolan is like me at walking football. All over the place, makes a couple of decent moves then fucks it up. Whoever quoted "like a dog chasing a crisp packet around a pub car park" was spot on. Get rid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_B Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 After a good start, he's had a couple of stinkers, as has the team. It could just be the two things are connected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
