We might be surprised mate, have you watched PP interview on the website?......talks a lot about Leadbitter how hes made a place in the team his, physical and mental strength to get there etc.
Arguably our best player the last couple of games, cannot be dropped imo...all Dobson gives you is legs and little football
Dobson is stealing a living, I haven’t seen him have one influential game since he came here
As much as we all joke that he will be straight back in, I don't think he will.
You try and not be too harsh on players, but Dobson is just so far out of his depth at a club this size.
He’d be alright for a Gillingham or such.

Dobson's alright and he's only 22. I've seen him have very decent games several times. He was better than both Power and Leadbitter last season although Grant has improved.
Would love somebody to come in for him before the deadline tomorrow. Be the only way to get him out of the team under Parkinson.
Dobson was, on average, at about the same level as Robson last season, more consistent maybe, but never as good as Robson at his best in my opinion, but obviously not in Parkys eyes . He should not get into the current line up on Saturday but then again neither should Wyke. Parky is determined to be proved right no matter how long it takes, so we have to wait and see if that time has been reached yet. But it would not come as a great shock if both started on Saturday, just a massive defeat for integrity.
Don't remember seeing much of Robson but Dobson was at least on par with Power last season and he was better than Leadbitter. Power offers more as a captain and has the odd rocket shot and Dobson is stronger in the tackle and in the air.
Don't get all the hate for him, maybe people are getting carried away because he picked up a red.
When Dobson signed I thought it was a good signing, captain of his club at the age of 21 (even though they were relegated). Box to box and decent in a tackle and I stuck up for him last season as I was impressed.Grant Leadbitter had his mind on other things last season and we have not seen much of him since he come back. Fast forward to now, Grant Leadbitter has managed his grieving and is menatlly and physically fit, the change is night and day with him and with him playing shows the rest of the midfield up. Our midfield, Dobson and Power are pretty ****, now Dobson is now only 22 and there is potential there but as a first name on a team sheet, no chance.....I think Power offers little more apart from noise on the pitch, Leadbitter is quality and it shows, I think this is why (including myself) people are having a bit of a go at Dobson, I would love him to prove me wrong though.
Got to be Leadbitter and Power to start on Saturday
That's kind of my point though, seems like everyone's piling on Dobson and giving Power a free pass even though they're no better than each other. For my money Dobson's grit and Leadbitter's ability is the best combination.
I remember when Power picked up a couple of reds last season he was getting slated (by me too I think), seems to be why Dobson's getting it now to me. One bad game and suddenly he's ****e even though he was fine last season.
All about opinions mate, fair enough...Power wont be dropped hes the captain, Leadbitter has to be the first midfielder on the teamsheet hes like a new signing (take away his age), I think (and hope) it will be them 2 on Saturday
There's not enough tackling or strength in the middle with those two for me but you do get more attacking threat with Power.
