Rich Sharpe mentioned Dolan lost the ball for the goal, hope that doesn’t give Mowbray the nervousness and reason to drop him

The most Rovers thing ever

That enthusiasm and desire to get the ball and do something is exactly why you want Dolan and Rothwell types around, you’ll get frustrated time to time of course but they’ll keep going

Dolan time!

Good lad Kami!

Team as expected Dolan ahead of Chapman on the bench

I like believing the sky is falling and everything is terrible, but I also like believing the club can do no wrong. But which is better? Theres only one way to find out.....

Well let’s hope they get their man then as at the moment they are falling at the task!

Was it at Bournemouth in the cup when Williams played centre half and got a comedy red card?

Let’s hope we have better lined up as he seemed as good an option as any around on a free

I’m sick of being told ‘it’s a tough market for everyone’ and other such platitudes then Chaddy comes along with anecdotes about x, y and z not signing anyone. Why do we have to accept it and settle? For once why can’t be one of the clubs overcoming the difficulties and getting deals over the line, Bristol City and others have managed to land their targets yet we should just accept that once again we start the season short despite knowing for months where we needed to strengthen. Tony, Swag or someone else is failing at their task here!

I like Tony but maybe he needs to stop talking to players himself! I can imagine players ready to sign, then go to bed depressed after a night time call with Tony about how it’s a long project and they may not be in the team and need to learn his game etc

They should open up the Blackburn end top tier for the family stand again, most will be in groups of 3-4 so less social distancing then they can use the jw lower Blackburn end side to spread out those from the Darwen end side Use the full upper tier not just for corporates and then use the full Darwen end to distance those from the riverside Seems easy enough

B A Baracus He ain’t getting on no plane! So what date are people betting on for the first article stating ‘the emergence in pre season of Wharton / Magloire / Fisher / Dolan etc has lessened the need for that position’ You know it’s got to be incoming

Ah that makes sense

Randomly off topic here but how long has lancs live been around, is it an actual print paper or an online thing only? I only ask because it seems only recent that we’ve had two local journos both being fed the same stories

Good player but obviously done something very wrong for them to release him like that, he’s deleted his Instagram as well, got to be a police issue or drug test or worse

This line from the Telegraph article shows how shambolic our recruitment has become That leaves Rovers still in the market for two new central defenders, but they face starting the season without any new signings at the back for the third successive year.

Nice of them

This is concerning now, there doesn’t seem to be any obvious momentum or rush to get anyone in and Tony more often than not is cautious with new signings so we are going to be short on quality in certain areas. poor show really we’ve long known the focus areas and not doing a good job addressing them

It all seems very obvious doesn’t it No world beater but better than the options we have, just hope it’s because there is better lined up and imminent

Magloire JRC Dolan Buckley Chapman These young lads on the brink all are showing a fearless potential, let’s play them and give them the chance to shine rather than being scared

Fish out of water

Fizzled out but class to see Dolan and Chapman forcing mistakes, hope we see this in the league but doubt it

Buckley and Davenport both look better than Johnson in the Johnson role, wonder how far down the order both are Dolan seems wasted centrally he needs to be able to run at them
