Mr Dobbie seems to have found his niche at Blackpool after scoring a brace, now 4 goals in 2 matches them. Wish him all the best.
I still havent worked out what Dobbie ever did wrong. To be promoted to the Prem twice and never given a chance to take the step up would have ruined most. GOOD LUCK SON!!! Just a shame you weren't given the chance under BR Can anyone say they have seen more from Moore/Lita this year than Dobbie has provided after a run? The first one who says Moore tries hard gets shot down. [video]http://www.footytube.com/video/watford-blackpool-apr06-112565?ref=hp_lmrv[/video]
Agreed... sometimes you need a little bit of magic. Graham is a goal scorer but sometimes you just need to throw the dice. He has always produced when given a run for us. I remember BR saying pre-season that he was so impressed by Dobbie's work ethic as he finally had a chance in the show. He got played against Man City where he wasn't the only one who had a shot on goal. Granted not his best game but come on! To cast him out!
Can't disagree. If he 'doesn't fit' then change something to make him fit! All this guff about not being a Prem player when he's had no time on the pitch. The fact he's scoring for fun shouldn't surprise us. Yet again, Dobbie could be a Swansea Manager's on-going mistake. Sousa anyone?
Won't gett dragged to deep into this one as Dobbie is a firm favourite of mine. The goal yesterday will be goal of the season, he beat 4 players inside the box, how many players can do that, let alone score. He had one bad game in the PL, and that was that. He's never been given a run, which is a shambolic managerial decision by Buck. He's been such a huge player for us, and to be treated the way he has is barbaric. Wish him all the best, and don't hang about here to be treated like a piece of meat Dobbs.
Feel like that myself but I don't advise it as it might unsettle the lads. Buck might have tunnel vision at times but he's not stupid and will be well aware of what Dobbie is bringing to Blackpool, when it could have been us. If he's not aware, I'm sure there are plenty of people who will be making it known to him. Ridiculous decision and I hope he will be man enough to admit it.
Oh,the sweet irony. Swans' can't buy a goal,yet the once again rejected Dobbie,shows how it's done. I am also a Dobbie fan,and have been equally mystified by his treatment at the Club.
Hiya Vetch, hope you're well. I guess one consolation for you guys is that every goal Dobbie has scored for Blackpool has been a dagger through the heart of us Bluebirds! Unlucky yesterday, but what a season for you guys. Setting yourselves up to be a force next season.
Hope so Clingo. I think we need to do a couple of things to make it happen. Firstly, spend some money - doesn't have to be silly money but we definitely need at least two and possibly three good signings. CB is essential if we need to replace Caulker and landing Siggy - that would be a start. Secondly, I think we need to up the tempo going forward. Teams know that we play a possession based game that at times can be a tad ponderous, and we give teams time to regroup when we go forward. We've been sussed by the better managers in this league for sure - but nothing that can't be rectified imo.
Good points KJ and I'm they're not lost on PR and HJ. This season had to be about consolodation and finding your feet. As it turned out, you actually handed out a few lessons to the Prem. From the outside, it seems that you just need a plan to deal with the more physical teams......you've no trouble with the footballing sides as your home results against Arsenal and Man C proves. It must be great for you guys to have the plaudits you are having heaped on you. All richly deserved too.
Hi cling,fine thanks,and I trust you are the same. Squeaky bum time now,I guess,for you,but hey,with Dobbie's track record,why didn't you go after him on loan?
