Let's Talk Tyrhys Dolan

[onlyoneDuff]

Whether you rate him or not, he's a credit to the club..definitely a favorite of mine on sheer enthusiasm and tenacity on the pitch...good to hear that he's a good human regardless of the football...

Whenever I watch a Rovers game with non-Rovers supporters, it is always Dolan who catches their eye.

That rabona cross at Leicester!

Said it few weeks back when I brought a mate who had no prior knowledge to most of our squad "I imagine that Dolan lad will get snapped up by a bigger club at some stage"..has taken a keen interest in him ever since.

 A wealthier club, perhaps. There are no bigger clubs.

And the beautifully cute Assist for Pickering's goal last Saturday.

As John Keats wrote years ago, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." (And yes, I knew the phrase; but of course, I had to google who wrote it!)

That slight miss control just before the pass worked out well for him.

[R0verb0y]

Good, though, that he reacted quickly enough to complete the pass. Time was, I think, when he wouldn't have.

[bluebruce]

I don't think it necessarily was a mis-control. Possible, but I read it as setting up to take the shot. Left enough space for a slight run up to build some power, but then the defender had it blocked off and he very quickly decided to lay the pass to Pickering instead, even though he only saw him side on running behind him. Fine assist. Unlucky not to score later too, was a good effort.

Overall it wasn't actually one of his better games, some of his passing wasn't on point, but still an assist and if not for the woodwork a goal.

Every club has made mistakes like that. Bolton gave Alan Ball away, the dingles gave Bryan Robson away, we gave Ron Davies away.

Young lads develop at different rates. Nothing new there. The dingles thought Robson was too small, WBA got him on steaks and Guinness. Maybe the Guinness wasn’t such a good idea.

[chaddyrovers]

I would give him a new 5 year contract with no release clause in the contract

Offer not give.

[pk1875]

I would 100% offer him a long term deal. The lad is a baller and could be a big player for us going forward.

Tyrhys developed a hell of a lot in the six weeks from being released to being in our first team then!

We can try to be kind about it, but they dropped a massive, hilarious bollock.

That last part shouldn't need saying. We shouldn't ever put a release clause in for anyone unless we are pretty much forced to

Those first few matches he looked unreal, it was the back-to-back 5-0 vs Wycombe and 4-0 away at Derby. I remember Colin Murray and guests waxing lyrical about him on that Championship show.

There was a weird period over a season or so where he fell down the pecking order (don't think it was injury related, likely just Mowbray and sticking Gallagher on the wing). But there is no doubting he looked brilliant from day 1. I remember we laughing at the PNE forum at the time and they were having a meltdown over it.

Dolan had that shock factor of a young signing from Preston that no one expected, a bundle of energy and tricks but that wasn't a consistent theme of his performances.

It is to be expected at his age and he does seem to be maturing, in the main he does less unnecessary tricks and is starting to produce more end product, that has been an ongoing development hence why he has had spells out of the team. Especially under Tomasson but before too he often features up front which doesnt suit him and it isnt a big surprise that he has been more effective out wide. His poorest game recently I thought was v Blackpool when he regularly gave the ball away loads through over elaborating but he also scored a brilliant goal. A mixture of in the main effective performances but also goals and assists whether he plays well in general or not is exactly what he needs to do and is doing. The key now is to keep playing him wide and to get him signed up long term.

He is improving each game and producing more end product whether its goals or playing a major role in the wins. 

His's available to play in a number of different positions is bonus for JDT and the squad.

His lack of experience got shown up last night. Having said that you want him playing in their penalty area not ours. I think we better put that 5 year contract back in the drawer for now.
