Looks like more of a wide attacker.

First player since BBD to get a half time parade?

[Groundhog]

Can't believe he had the cheek to parade around Ewood last night, showing off the fact he managed to get the last shirt from the club shop 🤣

In fairness…Waggott made him buy it…

Sky kept panning to Sheriff Fatman last night. Put me right off me fish supper.

Chances of Dolan being sold on for a few hundred K now instead of losing him for nothing in the summer!?

Hope the chances of that are zero. A few hundred k would be a joke, and we will get more than that for him in the summer. As I keep having to remind people, we will be eligible for compensation unless he moves abroad.

I Can't imagine compensation being much though (and he could very well move abroad, as many British players do these days)

I can't imagine compensation being less than a million, more likely approaching 2. Dolan has 176 Championship appearances at the age of 23. We've had him since he was 18. We ain't only getting a few hundred k for him in a tribunal.

It's possible he'll move abroad, and that's a risk, but I don't see it, and it's worth rolling the dice. A few hundred k is an absolute pittance, and probably about a fifth of what we could expect at tribunal. He's also a useful player, despite what some of our fans think.

Got his JE "you knows" in 😁👍

Anyone know when an Augustus last wore the blue and white?

[Lecogsportif]

BBC Africa did a story on him back in 2020

Last Serie B recruit, Ciccio Grabbi? An excuse to remind fans that Rovers spent £6 million or so on a player, back in the early 2000s, who had a history of Ledderhose disease which affects the feet. Not widely reported in English then but you can find reports in Italian online.

No doubt charged him a penalty fee for buying it in person as well.

I would like to see Gueye and Karagbo play alongside each other, you never know could be the kick-start the front line need.

Let's hope it's an omen, BBD became our top scorer.

I hope it doesn’t take him as long to make an impression.

[Valconite]

Granted it was only 10min or so but what a breath of fresh air it is to see someone with pace and able to take a man on.  Surely has to be in the starting line up going forward.  

Adios Hedges.

Classic, top tier incompetence in a very simple task, sums the club up.

Seems to have been taken down and replaced with a silhouette, along with new silhouettes for Dennis and Woodrow. Even though we've surely done photos with them by now. I mean hell, Garrett has a silhouette too, even though he's been here since a kid and is out on loan. They're not the most dilligent of staff who run that website...

Looks quick from last night's cameo.

Wolves have seriously quick players so let's see how he measures up on Sunday.
