Perhaps, if PNE had the budget for an U23 team, Dolan would've been kept on to show his abilities. Maybe, a reminder to Rovers, if and when drastic cuts are contemplated.
The U18s FA Youth Cup match highlights from Rovers v PNE in February this year are interesting to watch. Sorry if it's been already discussed - but though Rovers ran out 4-2 winners after a PNE player got sent off, the highlights suggest that PNE were very impressive and, perhaps, even the better team against a side with highly rated Rovers youth players like Brennan, Burns and Whitehall, amongst others. Dolan scores and plays well for PNE and another player, Ethan Walker, performs very well and scores.
