Ness is looking pretty good in that CB role today.
Interesting that Ness is the left CB and Elewere is at RB tonight, not ideal really as Elewere is hardly the sort of attacking full back you'd want against a non league side.
Finding it strange there seem to be doubts whether our current player of the year, by an absolute country mile I might add, is going to be a starter, when we havent seen much of the new players. Seems either dismissive or short memories. Unless we are selling him, in which case I’ll shut up!!!🤣
Depends on what Garner thinks of him and if he fits into the new system. He's not as good on the ball as people like Fraser and Payne, and the higher press we're expecting to play means a midfield enforcer right in front of the back 4 might not be necessary. No-one is doubting his ability, it's more if he's the jigsaw piece we need or not this coming season, which he might not be once McGrandles is fit
Just to clarify I didn’t say people were doubting his ability, just his starting position. The competition may make him even better.🤷🏻♂️

Our player of the year from the year before (where we finished 7th so in a much better team) is also seemingly out of favour and may be sold. There are doubts over whether Dobson suits a team that is hoping to have 60% possession so I think it’s understandable that there is a debate over his place. I would still have him in the team but Garner may prefer McGrandles as he is probably better on the ball than Dobson

It's not OUR doubts about Dobson, it's whether Garner feels the same way, seeing that he has been left out of the big game this weekend, and instead is playing a team 3 divisions below us.
As the cliche goes, under a new manager everyone starts afresh

Or he just wants to see what other players can do against stronger opposition as its pretty clear what Dobson and a couple of others can do?

If that’s the thinking, why not sell Dobson? I think he is maybe being underestimated, don’t get me wrong his specialist position isn’t one I enjoy to watch as a player, but appreciate that particularly last season he was very good. I prefer a midfielder to be like midfielders of the past, box to box and good all round. Once again if what you are suggesting is right, for me that could be four midfielders being wasted, Dobson style doesn’t fit, Morgan& gilbey are marmite when it comes to opinion, Jfc wants to go and not sure if he can still cut it. Suddenly we are looking thin in midfield. Obviously all won’t go. Just hypothetically speaking.
I think our shortcomings are being shown very clearly here. I could get behind a team with only 1 striker if the midfield could score their fair share.
Good to see plenty of balls going into the box though its mostly through DJ. Elerewe is a monster...raw at the moment but think will develop and learn pretty quickly.
How old is Ness? Looks very assured on the ball. Dobson has been better this game than when I saw him play last. Other than a few wayward passes has been showing for the ball well.
Well not the most inspiring first half but if Aneke or DJ could shoot on target we’d probably be 2 or 3 up.
Eleware isn’t a right back and Clayton isn’t a left back, Kirk playing like he wishes he wasn’t there and his crosses are shite. JFC & Lavelle looking the best players on the pitch.
For anyone that is familiar with Avery Hill Park is the training ground now totally obscured from the park? Looks to be a lot more greenery there since I was last there. Maybe that’s what they mean when it’s behind closed doors!

So far my fears are being confirmed loud & clear.
