Finding out that Scowen can take good corners reminds me of when we found out Rory Delap had a long throw but we never used it! Dobson was rank today.
We're all going to say Scowen aren't we? In a way its a blessing that Dobson going means he'll have to put him in (awaits leadbitter instead like!)
Well Scowen will start next week, Dobson won't, why change a team so much from an 8-1 win, but typical Sunderland that and it will happen again too many bad players today, we are poor starters as well. Took too long to substitute, the pressure is on at Oxford now next week.
Power & Dobson weren’t good enough last season, puzzling why they both start again this season. Only 1 game but we should be blowing teams like that away at home to have a chance of getting out of this league.
Scowen for sure. Dobson battled last season so what makes PP think he is going to be any different this one. PP has like many managers before him failed to add real pace to the squad and this together with not addressing the lack of a thirty goal a season striker will surely see us fail again in our quest for automatic promotion.
as i said elswhere, scowen has contributed to goals and chances, his corners got some goals, his work rate got us up/kept us up the pitch. dobson is not the finished article yet, there is a decent player in there with a good eye for a pass etc but needs some more experience...the only plus point to me now is that leadbitter has had a good pre-season as well as i still think he will get picked afore scowen.
Scowen created almost half of our goals on Tuesday and scored 1. What does Parkinson do? Drops him for a safe option in Dobson who stunk the place out for over 70 minutes today.
Bet that tosser Parkinson puts Leadbitter in next match. I'm sure he gets a kick out of winding us up with his ****e selections and subs. Or is it just that he has zero balls??
I'm not sure where all the Dobson hate is coming from, it was a fairly poor performance from him but no worse than anybody else really and it was never a red, not from what I saw anyway maybe replays show different. Hardly seen anything from Scowen but he had that one good game and scored a couple in preseason so deffo worth a look. PS don't forget Dobson is only 22 plenty of time to improve.
