However, that incident does not reflect Dolan as a person; players are frequently tarnished by off-the-field issues. He is a clever individual who is enjoyable to work with, has a wonderful attitude, and is frequently praised by his trainers. Rovers fans, understandably, want to see more output. His performance against Plymouth Argyle prompted the inquiry, ‘Why don’t you do this more frequently?’ His four goals this season do not reflect his skill level. Lowe has been working with Dolan since he came at Ewood Park five years ago. He hopes to see him stay and commit his future to Rovers. “I agree, and I think it’s the best place for him,” Lowe told The Lancashire Telegraph.

“I’ve worked with him for a long time, since he was a small lad and came into the building, and he’s grown from strength to strength and evolved, and I believe it would be beneficial for him to remain at the football club. “He seems to enjoy playing here, and I know all of the coaches enjoy working with him at Brockhall, so maybe he’ll be able to stay. To be honest, I believe he is a big addition to the club.

Dolan’s best position has also been somewhat of a puzzle. He started the season as a number 10, but has performed well on the flanks. Right-wing has given his most stunning performances, including the weekend and the home triumph over Leeds United. Dolan isn’t afraid to take on new challenges. His pre-season message was to emulate Sam Szmodics and fill his role as the talisman. “I’ve worked with the boy a long time now and he’s enthusiastic, he’s passionate,” Lowe went on: “He needs to add more goals to his game, I believe he understands that, and hopefully he will do so from now until the end of the season, But he’s a terrific kid, he wants to get better, he wants to work hard so I’m really pleased for him that he managed to get a goal today.

“As I previously stated, we can only continue to work with him, and he can only keep trying to see if he can improve. He obviously has the attitude and mentality to focus on improving his game.
