Doncaster Rovers are in their third straight season in League Two after they were relegated to English football’s fourth division in 2022.
Since then, the club has been on the rise.
They were very close to getting promoted back to League One last season, only to lose in the playoffs.
After six games into this season, they are once again pushing for the promotion spots.
One man who has been front and centre of Doncaster’s promotion push is Luke Molyneux.
This is the third season for the 26-year-old with Doncaster.
Luke Molyneux Radar Map At Doncaster Rovers
The visualisation below shows where Luke Molyneux ranked for some key metrics last season compared with players in a similar position in leagues with the same difficulty level as League Two.
Luke Molyneux finished last season with the second-most goal contributions for Doncaster, with nine goals and eight assists.
He already has one-third of that this season, with four goals and two assists.
Molyneux played the majority of his minutes last season as a right-sided attacking midfielder and has played all of his minutes this year so far in that position.
An excellent finisher, Molyneux, overperformed his xG by a big margin, and that trend seems to be continuing this season, too.
Luke Molyneux style of play is a high-volume dribbler and was also highly ranked for progressive passes.
He is not a well-rounded player, and some aspects of his game, including his work rate and the defensive bits, need improvement.
There was a reliance on Luke Molyneux to deliver the goals and assists next to Joe Ironside last season, but the tables have turned this season.
Molyneux seems to be the go-to man this season, having started all games so far and been on the pitch pretty much every minute.
His experience in League Two must be vital for him, as well as Doncaster, who seem to be the favourites for promotion.
