Answer to your last question, Dolan went off.

You're doing it again, neither goal was a "howler".

Dolan had a shot brilliantly saved, put the penalty away and we never got near their goal after he went off. Hedges on the other hand, as well as half the others might as well have not bothered. Why you would come out with that comment after watching that match, I've no idea.

Has Duffy signed for Boro? Get in

It seems to be a bit left field even for this lot. Don't shoot me, but it seems more like a Eustace request signing. Has he played with/managed him before I'm wondering.

Woodrow seems a bit left field, even for our lot. Don't shoot me, but seems more likely to be a Eustace request. Has he got any past links with him?? No, his mum's with him.

He's having an x ray, see if there's any work in him.

I like that, it should be made easier with Gueye now actually looking like he knows what he's doing. He's been nuisance value up until the last 3 games, he's now looking like a proper centre forward, and no doubt he'll improve further. I love how he's now rollocking the other players and demanding of them. Someone sent me a post on Friday night from a Leeds fan. He asked is anyone else watching Blackburn v Preston and thinking Blackburn's big centre forward is exactly what we need?

He might say, but that isn't doing a Tomasson. I think he'll say we go with what we've got, couldn't imagine him throwing the toys out the pram.

Don't think so to be honest, it would send a negative message to the existing squad, and Eustace will want to give it the best chance possible. Both barrels in the summer would be my guess, if he's still here.

Not sure how many ounces are left in the current squad for Eustace to squeeze out,without significant help.

It'll catch up with them, it's inevitable.

That's another thing that happens on a regular basis, "Hedges and Dolan", as if people can't mention one without the other. Dolan is, by far, the more effective player. Put both up for sale and Dolan would be worth a lot more. Going back to last night, can you think of anything else positive to comment on in Dolans performance, or was it just the one thing?

I think he suffers same as Nyambe to be honest. People go into games looking for the negatives and don't acknowledge the positives. Constantly highlight the negatives and don't acknowledge the positives and you soon have yourself a poorer player. As I've said before, if the team as a whole puts in a poor performance, Dolan is criticised more than most, the criticism is disproportionate.

Keep it real, he'd absolutely no chance with the goal at Oxford for a start.

I agreed with you, it was a "typical" performance. Do you think he played well? Certainly everyone around us stood up and clapped him off

It was a "typical" Dolan performance, he had a good game overall, and the cross was better than good.

I thought Hedges going off was more of a turning point, but I haven't watched it back. Their threat down their right increased after he went off.

The calls for Cozier-Duberry to start have all but disappeared. He just isn't capable of delivering a performance with the intensity Dolan gave last night. It's no wonder clubs send their young players away to "grow up". He's looked a bit lost of late, hopefully the first half of the season stands him in good stead and he can help the team during the run in.

Hedges was good, given his time again Eustace would have left him on. That one sub was the game changer, I think Eustace thought it was job done.

It's a perfect example of someone making their mind up before we've even kicked off. Dolan did play well, he was all over the pitch and what a ball for the first goal.

It's as if someone's given Gueye a book on how to play football and said read that. He was already a handful, but more nuisance value. He's now looking like a proper centre forward. It must be a nightmare for defenders knowing the ball is coming in and he's behind you,and what a peach of a ball it was from Dolan. Given his time again, Eustace would have left Hedges on, that one substitution changed the game in Preston's favour. Overall though, a good performance and a great win against a team in form which definitely fancied itself.

Aye, must be happening though if Lancs are reporting it. As you say, actually signing him is a different matter.

Radio Lancs saying Kargbo flying in tonight, deal agreed, medical tomorrow.
