    Dobson is having a nightmare here. His passing is very poor.

    The 5 nil win and mcgeady becomes the bete bete noir.
    After maja left last season without macgeady we would have been lucky to finish mid table.
    Why some are turning on him now is unbelievable.
    He isnt what he was clearly.
    As I said long way to go.

    He literally just played the best through ball we've seen in a sunderland shirt for about 5 years man :D

    Shrewsbury will sit back for the entire second half, we just have to be up for it but clever as well.

    It's a shame as never really seen him with a good run of games even in the Prem just as he started going got injured.

    I'd like to see a full season out of him hopefully then would he able to give a better assessment on him. He should be tearing this league apart if he was that standard so hopefully we get him fully fit and find out.

    Then gave a daft foul away on the touchline after a period of sustained pressure from us. He has give it away about half a dozen times.

    2 ACL problems and regular thigh strains would suggest that is a big ask.
    He is a poor man's kirchoff. Play him 60 or 70 mins then take him off
    Even then...

    I think he looks to have potential, he's only young and needs time on the pitch.

    He has lots of potential I agree. But he isn't having a good game today imo.

    I don't think we have been terrible. The RTG board are in meltdown again :emoticon-0102-bigsm. We've been a bit wasteful but we are still creating.. Seriously think we are less of an attacking threat with McGeady in the team, and that's two games running I've not been impressed with Dobson now.

    Still young yet but if he does pick up another serious injury that will be it I think.

    Shame as seems a canny lad.

    Agree.
    I'M trying to be objective without letting emotion, sentiment or wishful thinking get in the way.
    You'd think I'd shot Bambi's mother :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Mumba, a central midfielder or right back against Watmore?

    Poor half hopefully change it up at half time and come out firing only 1 goal in it.

    I am intermittently watching some rugby played down south... one guy had just scored a try by sliding about 20 yards in the mud and the wet

    How is the Shrewsbury pitch holding up, is passing on along the ground okay for instance?
