Decent squad player so pretty happy with this. Hopefully this is the beginning of one or two others signing new deals.... |  | | |

Can't help thinking we've not seen the best of Dooley
When he first arrived, he used to take defenders on and create a bit of excitement. More recently, he seems content to play it safe and his goal at Accy apart has rarely imo made much of an impact on games |  |

Wages that are better served elsewhere imo. |  | | |

Struggling to see a justification for this.
I can count on one hand the amount of good games he's hand and I'd have fingers to spare.
Hard to predict what he's on a week but I suspect that wage could and should have been better spent on someone else. |  |

Underwhelmed. Glimpses of a good player but drifts in and out of games too much. |  |

Dooley hasnt been great recently but the goal against Gillingham repaid some of the faith that BBM seems to have in him. Not sure what his best position is , we are generally better when he is around midfield picking up the bits and pieces and finding blue shirts but was more impressive when he was taking people on further up the pitch , the improvement in Ryan has latterly pushed him out of midfield so another player without a proper position but useful and happy to track back . For me , one of those players you need if you intend to run with a smallish squad,......Jack of most trades. |  | | |

Do you mean his equaliser against the Gills?....that was a great goal.
I too am a bit surprised at this offer. I do hope we are not increasing his salary.
Reminds me a bit of Inman, a fairweather player who seems to do better in Summer.
Come on Stephen lad get stuck in and makes us love you. | | | |

Considering where we signed him from, I can't imagine he'll be on a wedge, decent enough squad player and I'd expect to see him down the pecking order when we've recruited in the summer. |  |

On his day , a player who can change the momentum of a game.
Get us up the pitch to make us more attacking.We were a better team when he came back from injury and we were on that losing streak.
I like him, but more of a squad player though, bring him in and out of the team based on good performances. He's got room for improvement and goals in his locker. | | | |

Shades of Donal McDermott for me. Keep waiting for him to hit his full potential.
I like the fact that he makes runs at defences and can do something a bit different to change a game.
I don't like the fact that he keeps getting pushed off the ball far too easily and is a bit short of confidence.
If we aren't stumping up too much, this probably comes under the heading "worth a punt". He's signed to summer 21 according to Sky, so it shouldn't break the bank. |  |

Good piece of business IMO. Agree with others that there is still a fair bit to come from him but I still think on his day he adds something to the team. Haven't been to loads of games but at Burton away his introduction changed the game. When he's playing well he really knits our play well and looks to go forward- look at the majority of our good team goals and he's been at the heart of them. Think we can trust him more defensively than we could last season too, BBM has started moving Dooley across flanks to support our fullbacks. If as D_Alien has mentioned he can return to running at the opposition more then I think he could really have an impact in the first team next season, if not, for the wage he's on he's a decent enough squad player who can play in a few positions. |  | | |

To be franc, the new contract means he'll have to step up to the mark | |

Went to a game against Luton in the year they won promotion. I think it was in Nov 2018. Finished 0-0. His skill level in that game stood out a mile for mine. Not sure what has happened since but it doesn't sound like he's kicked on. At the time there were comments around regarding his fitness levels. Maybe an injury interrupted season has meant that is still an issue. | | | |

I'm happy with that. Aside from what others have said already, I think he has had to be used as a midfield workhorse due to injuries, coming back from an injury himself. I see him more as an impact player and I think we'll see the best of him with him used in this way. |  | | |

Dooley has talent, but lacks in the work and bravery departments - at 28 he should be a solid performer, hes not. Hes inconsistent and defensively poor, too often giving the ball away cheaply. Hes had 18 month to get up to speed with Pro football, and IMO hes not made it
With the recruitment of Lund and the likes of Baah, Tavares and Bradley coming through I would have preferred to see him move on at the end of the season | | | |

not overly excited... a big issue i have with him is his inability to play balls forward of a player to allow them to run on to (Luke being a main target), however i cant work out if this is Dooley or direction from BBM as it seems a key issue across the team | | | |

A few opposition fans who I have spoken to after games this season have singled out Dooley for praise, I think for a similar reason to you. His technical ability is clearly there and perhaps that stands out at times - but when you're watching him every week you do notice how often he is pushed off the ball with ease or chooses the simple option in turning away from a defender and passing inside rather than trying to beat them. There is a player there, but too many games pass him by at the moment. A bit of consistency and confidence and he could be a better player for us. |  |

Looks like BBM read your comment about S Dooley, quoting.. "attracting a lot more interest from opposition Managers and supporters"?
Let's hope BBM's faith in SD is fully rewarded with some better performances. | | | |

Looks like BBM wants Tavares to get game-time elsewhere in the short term
