Oldham82 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Dolan will be like jack Byrne when he was good for us, this signing could be masterclass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did really well on-loan at Torquay so was recalled from his loan early by Fleetwood. Was in their squad before getting injured. After seasons watching Mark Shelton and Nathan Sheron this will feel like a godsend. He’s a more physical Jack Byrne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fervid Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) All a bit underwhelming he’s done nowt at Fleetwood and Torquay. Hope I’m proved wrong and he’s a wee gem. Edited August 22 by Fervid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 If there's nothing between League 2 and top half of NL like most seem to suggest these days it's surprising he's not featured more for Fleetwood, I've seen them a couple of times and I'd say they're an average Lge 2 team at best, Charlie Adam would appear to be a manager who'd appreciate the talents some are putting up for this lad so why he's not featuring at all this season is a strange one, maybe they've had a fallout because if he's as good as some are claiming you'd have thought he would have at least managed a single minute, I know he'd be behind a couple of lads at Fleetwood but you'd still expect him to be involved. This midfield he can't get in at Fleetwood have possession stats of 34%, 25% and 19% in their last three games this season and they aren't even playing with a recognised 9 so the fact he can't catch is a worry. I've no doubt he's been brought in to do a specific job it's just bewildering why he's not involved if he's so good. If you look at his two League 1 performances at the back end of last season, he started at Peterborough and was subbed after 45 in a 4-1 defeat and his other was a 10 minute cameo as a substitute once they had the game won 3-0 at home to Burton. Obviously Mellon has seen something in the lad he's not yet shown consistently, also at 23 his injury record is a bit of a concern, I'll file this one under 'cautiously optimistic'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore all that, he plays in a position we are crying out for and he will do well IMO. What did Nick Haughton do until the last 4 years, and he's 6 years older? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Haughton Edited August 22 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not forget Fleetwood loaned out Chris Conn Clarke and Cian Hayes to our league. Both now in league one. I’m not saying Dolan is that type of player but Fleetwood do recruit quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so first off when he joined fleetwood unfortunately he was out 0rettymuch straight away with an injury,he came back after around 6 month and nailed down his first team place,he was asked to play a holding midfielder role which hes never played before because at the time the manager said he was the best on the ball,but his strengths are as an attacking midfielder who has an eye for goal, he played prettymuch right till the end of last season before he went in hard for a tackle,tried to play on but couldnt and then spent best part of last 6 month out,by the time he came back charley i guess had already had players training together for months,if hes played in his natural attacking position he will do well mark my words 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lad should thrive here. My observations of Callum are that he’s a man now and has more of a physique but this has dulled his pace a bit hence why he’s plays centrally. What are your thoughts on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 With Otis Khan who’s been here for a while, now Callum Dolan, and the possibility of Stones or a n other coming in then there has to be outgoings surely, ie.

There's obviously money in the pot, given the fact they're signing Dolan and were willing to give Smith a two year deal. I know there's no sentiment in football, but it's not really fair on Khan to keep him here unless they were planning on signing him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
