Look, it's not perfect, but I appreciate that he's trying. Sweet potatoes are a good shout. My girlfriend and I do chili the day after Thanksgiving. This year we put some left over butternut squash in and it added some nice texture and sweetness.
As with all things Dobbo, it feels very earnest, and I appreciate that. If you want SD Addick's Guacamole recipe "to garnish" let me know.
Dobbo is our heartbeat. I fervently hope he stays, anybody close to being his replacement would have to be special, and if a transfer would probably cost a fortune. I love him.
Really not been overly impressed with Dobbo in recent weeks.. He just doesn't look at it. Head turned?
My guess is that captain’s armband is the problem. IMHO he doesn’t look or act like a natural captain and the current disruptive effect of Appleton’s tinkering with the team is restricting his natural game of focussing on the ball, wherever it is, and going for it. There must be a natural captain within the ranks on that training ground, give him the armband and let Dobbo concentrate on doing what he does particularly well.
I think he's just knackered and fed up. It's noticeable he's had a few ropey games recently but no one has picked up the slack. I'm sure he's trying everything he can but it isn't working. I'd love him to stay but couldn't blame him if he goes.
Dobson has not been as bad recently as some fans pretend, I suspect he is as fed up as most of us fans by being surrounded by players who don't have the fight he does, it is why I slightly fear if a championship london club(so he could stay near family) decided to put in an offer of May that he might be keen to leave early too.
I also have at the back of my mind that some elements of those in charge may be obsessed with youth who have a higher potential resale value that they have offered Dobson an insulting contract offer.
As he has more then earned a pay increase and more then earned a serious commitment contract from us.
I really hope in January or the summer not having to put up with those fans with friendly ties to the current people in charge of our club are not in full PR spin mode claiming Dobson turned down a a bumper contract because he is so greedy and hates our club.
It was so blatant what was going on in the summer.
Dobson's passing radar was a bit off yesterday, but that was him having a bad day at the office, rather than a sign of someone going through the motions.

I agree been played in every game with a bunch of heartless tossers or kids think he is shattered. He wasn’t at the top of his game yesterday but carried it 30 yards when needed and not one other fucker offered owt
If he doesn’t sign a new contract, do they sell him in January?
Wouldn't surprise me.
We don't exactly look like we're going to be play off contenders, so if he makes it clear he won't sign a new deal (and to be honest who would blame him if he does), then i do wonder if they'll decide to sell and start looking ahead and planning for next season. Same goes for CBT as well.

Personally no as I have seen no evidence our recruitment team would spend any money wisely, I am also pretty certain we will sell CBT and we can't afford to lose both.
Once again, that shower was not on Dobson. Out of everyone he probably played with the most urgency, particularly in midfield. He tried to move the ball quickly, pass forwards in search of runners, and even had a couple of shots.
He’s being asked to be the destroyer and the playmaker because others aren’t up to their job. He’s not good enough to do everything in midfield, but no player should be expected to be, yet he’s having to try and do everything anyway.
We will really notice his absence once he’s gone and there is zero evidence yet to suggest our recruitment, scouting, or budget will identify a worthy replacement.

When is the window that it changes from 5 bookings to 10

He's our Makalele
If we built players around Jones, Dobbo, May and complemented them we'd not go wrong.
You've had a mare there Dazzler
Hertha Berlin?
Baffles me some are fine with him leaving when our team is already a bunch soft lazy weaklings.
Dobson’s been one of our best players in a 30 months stretch where we’ve been no better than a mid table side.
