What did Dobbie do?

[Husty]

Serious question, don't think I heard his name mentioned more than twice after he came on, anyone who was there who could fill me in what happened to him?

 

[Beach Hut]

Well, what did the Romans do ?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Tried nutmegging a few players and failed a few times, only time i heard him mentioned.

 

[RM-Taylor]

See he's already the new NSC scapegoat

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

He is fast becoming an enigma.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Was at game and can confirm he looks like a fish out of water! Added nothing and the ball seems to bounce off him!

Do-be-do-be-do

Number 1 the week I was born that.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Aspinall said he looked slow.

 

[Dan The Man]

needs to ask his mate Harry Potter to get his wand out and magic up some points....

 

[JOLovegrove]

I was there and forgot he came on. He made about one good pass I think. Really needs to do something special to prove himself I think.

It's odd, like he's got Torres syndrome. He comes on the pitch with exactly the right frame of mind, reads the game well, but then he executes and it's like he's got someone else's legs with someone else's mind controlling them After 5 attempts or so he kind of gives up touching the ball as if he realises he's been cursed or something. He appears to lose confidence within 5 touches of the ball. Shame because you can see his initial ideas are spot on.

 

[portslade seagull]

As someone else has already stated Aspers said he was slow and looked uninterested

 

[Zebedee]

Dobbie's main asset is his lack of pace. Says a lot really.

First time I have seen dobbie live. He reminded me of billy paynter without the ability.

 

[portslade seagull]

was he maybe a kneejerk end of window signing because we hadn't signed a proper targetman

 

[sagaman]

Has looked very good at other clubs

I was there and i can tell you what Dobbie did.

1. Act surprised when the ball came to feet at a well positioned free kick let leicester break 2 on 2 and cause bridders a booking when he had to take thier man out.
2. Miss a good half chance in the last minute.
3. Take 2 or 3 touches when one would have done and pass to the opposition.

Bring back Billy Paynter

Whilst I agree with this, you could say exactly the same about a number of other players. That's not to excuse Dobbie's performance, but at least he is still adapting to our team.

As a team, we continually took too many touches, gave the ball away needlessly (our set pieces for instance often seemed to result in us suddenly having to defend Leicester counterattack), and Barnes and CMS also missed chances. Dobbie was not the only one. I think most would agree that he has far more potential than Barndoor Billy, but unfortunately, he's not the missing piece of the puzzle- a powerful target man is.

That was Barnes.

Apparently he is great at Fifa 13!
