Bolger was certainlt better than Parkes. As usual we took the wrong one Is that double promotion winner and 2015 Player of the Year Tom Parkes? In fairness Bolger has achieved two League Two promotions and a 4th placed League One finish too.

I also think itβs worth pointing out that Tom was excellent for Rovers and his performances in those seasons is often massively under appreciated.

Was good in his spell with us, very commanding when teams pump high balls into box , but vunerable turning against pace as most centre backs are, though thought Hanlan gave him a torrid time in this seasons game at The Mem.

Bolger had a good loan spell with us at the start of his career. Since that time he has acquired more experience and is a much better player.
His one glaring weakness is lack of pace. He can be sadly exposed if isolated against a quick forward. This can be overcome by either partnering him with a wily old defender (e.g. Craig) or a quick centre back who can compensate for his lack of speed.
I'd be happy to see him back but don't see any of our current centre backs providing the type of partnership that Bolger needs to flourish.

I mean he's 29 with over 250 League appearances under his belt, I think he's probably wily enough himself.
