AllRoverAsia Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The Swansea keeper must have had the most touches in the game. They have tried to give us a freebee and if they play the same they will. Oddly very happy to see Gallagher score from a central position. Dolan has some engine but he's not a central striker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers11 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Good first half. Buckley has been excellent. Liking the look of Pickering too, gets stuck in. Never been convinced about Dolan. Works hard and is a live wire but I don’t see a lot of quality there. Decent impact sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanives Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Any one know why Chapman has been left out? Great first half, hopefully we can keep it up in the second. Definetly need someone else centrally but dolans energy has been great and chased after everything Edited August 7, 2021 by deanives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’re getting the hair dryer treatment for not topping the possession chart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted August 7, 2021 Backroom Share Posted August 7, 2021 Dolan should have done better a couple of times but he’s doing a good job Buckley on another level so far, too early to say @Paul Mani was right all along? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Dolan in the centre of the front three is a funny one. He does cause all kinds of disruption up there and adds an element of unpredictability. Works his ass off and harries. But he hasn't developed that clinical finishing knack yet (in fairness he didn't have all that many clear chances last season and still scored 3, so today might not be wholly representative and Arma has had the odd day like this too at 5 years his senior, but yeh he has been fluffing them today). He isn't big and strong either, although neither was Arma. It's not where I see Dolan's future at all unless he becomes a clinical finisher and/or learns to read the game better but I think playing him there might have occasional utility until we get someone else, especially in a stretched squad. Rather see Gallagher put there though and Dolan wide. Someone mentioned McBride but I think if we swap Dolan for him we lose that mobility that is unsettling Swansea.

Bethnal Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I’ll say one thing: I’m a fiend for watching a side in blue and white play well and score goals. Stick it in my veins. Lots of little things that could be picked at and you suspect Swansea aren’t a barometer for doing well in this league, but it’s just nice to see us play well, so far. Again for 45, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
