Stephen Dobbie

[Napper]

Not knocking Gus , maybe there was no place for him today but

Got 2 in 2 recently , proven at this level , looked to be peaking

Why the f*** never involved now

 

[El Turi]

Has to start instead of Barnes on Tuesday.

Because he is not called Ashley Barnes.

If dobbie does not start on Tuesday night instead of Barnes I will smash the blokes seat up who sits in front of me

 

[The Modfather]

He must be wondering how the hell Barnes gets in ahead of him every week

 

[Seagulltonian]

I think if we had been 2 - 0 at the time Barnes came off, he would have got on. But Gus decided to go more defensive with a 4 - 5 - 1 formation instead of keep attacking them.

 

[Rugrat]

Can understand the need for defensive cover on the left but (if it has to be one or the other) I'd have some potency in attack rather than trying to mitigate risk in defence given these teams hardly present much of a problem going forward.

Dobbie starts Tues, please!

Why? You're not conparing like with like. If Dobbie's going to get in the team it's more likely to be in place of Orlandi or, at a push, CMS. Unless we're playing a side so poor or so small that we don't need to worry about defending.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Doobie if played will either take the place of CMS or Orlandi.

Barnes plays a dual roll of attacking and defending which gives balance.

Personally I would give Doobie a go in stead of CMS.

Also I would drop Barnes for Lopez as he is not in form.

Hoskins instead of CMS & Dobbie instead of Barnes playing deeper between midfield and Hoskins.

 

[trueblue]

So now you're dropping CMS too for a totally unproven striker?

 

[T soprano]

Yeah let's drop orlandi the real man of the match
The suits drinking champagne chose Bruno once again maybe because he scored a great goal
But over 90 mins Orlandi was class Above ( shame he can't get that goal though from midfield ) won't be long though
Got one dog called BUCKLEY if I get another he's being called ORLANDI

 

[kevtherev]

Am I right in saying he has not played a minute since Wolves..Poyet did say some harsh words were said in the dressing room afterwards. That was his second goal in two games as well, hardly someone you would suddenly exclude from playing, but then who knows

Unproven? Proven in League 1 just as much as CMS is proven in League 1. CMS is hardly lighting the Championship up is he.

Only an idiot would do that......

Correct. He had a good game at Wolves, but missed about 4-5 decent chances.

I still think the reason he has not played since is due to the absence of Bridge, and Poyet's doubts about Painter at this level, so Barnes doubles up, which Dobbie is not suited to doing.

 

[Hyperion]

What he needs to do is stop f***ing around and put 2 strikers up front with Dobbie behind them and start putting teams out of bloody sight.

That was a f***ing disaster today. Bolton were absolute shite

 

[Chesney Christ]

Is that a joke? Are you aware of football existing outside of the bubble of Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club?

You seem determined for there to have been some falling out with players and Gus. You put this theory forward for Crofts, then it was revealed Crofts was on leave because his wife was giving birth. I'd wager Dobbie's lack of game time is equally as innocent.

 

[Chesney Christ]

WHAT?

We play 4 defenders, plus two defensive midfielders. We do not need any more defensive cover! Barnes' role is now redundant.
