He is scoring and assisting quite frequently if you look at his minute breakdown. Only Brereton and (surprisingly maybe) Gallagher ahead of him in terms of mins per goal involvement. He's quick, tricky, physical, got a knack to get into the box. As a team we've got to figure out how to make the most of him. On Saturday it was really striking how when he went off and we had Hedges on we offered absolutely nothing down the right. I thought like all of our attacking players, that Dolan was totally ineffective on Saturday. His usual bundle of energy and always willing but his decision making was always wrong in the final third, summed up with a terribly executed flick on a very dangerous counter attack. Mind you, Hedges may as well have not come on. Quote

He will get better and better I am sure. Next season can see him growing into a top player at Championship level. Quote
riverholmes Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Dolan in the England U20 squad. I wonder who the last Rovers players were, excluding loanees, who got into that squad? Mahoney and Jason Lowe? The Dolan signing is, perhaps, amongst the best value in recent times. Were he to play consistently as a winger, I'm sure he'd be developing further.

Even if it knocks half a yard off his pace that can affect a game. Quote

To be fair he only played half a game today - in Colchester Imagine he’ll be sharper than the lads who’ve been on holiday Quote

Upside Down Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 "Now Ty, I know you played really well on the wing and scored the other day for England but this weekend I want you to play left back. You should be fine because positions and formations are a thing of the past." 1 Quote
Ossydave Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 He's probably early himself a place on the bench on Saturday if we're being honest. He looked like he stretched a bit when scoring, he's a young boy and he needs to learn to let his body recover (said in my best Mowbray voice). 1 Quote

If we were offered Van Hecke and Khadra in a good deal, it would be a tough decision. I’d be upset to see him leave, I love seeing his positivity and he seems like such a fantastic lad too. I wonder what his feelings would be on a possible move. Free agent to the PL in a few seasons would be crazy, but I get the impression he likes it here and most likely appreciates us giving him a chance after being released from Nob End. Quote

Bbrovers2288 Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Scores in an England game and suddenly he is wanted property, journos are so predictable. In reply to the guff article however in no way would I entertain a straight swap Dolan for Khadra, I think Dolan has much more potential whereas Khadra has weaknesses to his game that he will never improve to a high level. Pace but doesn’t know how to use it 1 Quote

Pace but doesn’t know how to use it Think Khadra has all the attributes to become a very good player. He is young and already raging defences in the championship. As I said before. A swap to get Khadra and Van Hecke is a no brainer. 1 Quote
