    I like Dobson but he's a CM to break up play, get his foot in and win headers then lay it off, he needs a different type of player alongside him. Specifically someone exactly like O'Nien.

    I dont think PP has any idea when it comes to partnerships, he cant see what is so obvious to the average onlooker.

    Really? Just shows people see things differently. His final ball has been iffy at times but he is so positive and full of energy.

    Dobson flies out and misses everything allowing their lad to shoot from 20yrds. Mathews down to his left to save it.

    He seems to approach every game with a what is the safest way possible to get a win mentality, not great. Hard to build momentum.

    You're more than a minute ahead of me ...

    ... I had to check to see if I'd put the clocks back!

    Why do we never start playing in the 2nd half until we concede.

    Lots of space down our flanks with this setup. All the time in the world to pick his cross.

    We are always slow out of the blocks in the 2nd half though. The amount of times we concede in the first 5 mins of the 2nd half is poor.

    Cue tactical mastermind making inspired double substitution followed by multi-goal extravaganza?
