I would play Dobson deeper with Coventry as an 8 - his passing range and set piece delivery is incredible at this level. We just need a creative 10 to come in and that midfield 3 looks very good. I also like Bakinson, he can cover any of those roles too.

This, there was no link between midfield and attack last night. Nothing against any of the midfielders but its just not their skill set. Need a creative midfielder/no10 for sure.

I think when playing 352 you need to get the ball wide quicker and use the wing backs to supply the forwards but Edun, who gets forward well, continually failed to clear the first defender with his crosses and Twatson, until he went in to nosebleed territory and popped up to score the goal was playing too deep or kept passing sideways/backwards and failed to make the right runs into space.

At this point, I wish Paul Elliot just killed us off and ended our suffering .

Take the captain armband of him now …

What for exactly? He hasn’t gone anywhere. The key word in that was “understand”. There is nothing concrete to say that Dobson has signed anything.

Dobson leading the team out this eve holding his young daughter as mascot... bit odd unless he thinks it's his last game perhaps...?

He did it Saturday as well … he had a shocker last night and you can see why only one club have made an offer for him…. and none from England 

I've been anti Dobson in recent weeks but last night he did well

Your right Todd's, silly bollocks is wrong

Dobson is not even close to being the problem.  However he is not a box to box or attacking midfielder which is where he played yesterday.  Coventry and Dobson could work together in a 4231 setup but then we have a lack of wingers and one of ladapo or May would either be benched or playing out of position.  It will be interesting to see what formation the eventual new manager prefers

My exact thoughts, in a double pivot, I think Dobbo and Coventry could be very effective, as you say though we would need attacking full backs, a creative mid infront and good wingers to make up for their limited attacking ability. 

Dobson, Bakinson and Coventry were all noticeably too similar imo but all were better in one area the the other. Bakinson has the best spacial awareness, Dobson is the best defensively and then Coventry is probably the quickest on the ball. 

I love Dobbo, but if he does go, I do think Coventry could potentially do what Dobson has done for us. Good on the half turn, good pass of the ball, gets about. 

Ideally though they'd play together somehow, agreed

Do you get to watch the matches at all?

Really hope we will see additional cover at full back. Assimwe looks a talent but probably not the correct time to blood him.

Not directly related to us but Ipswich are going for Al Hamadi from the Wombles. Must be why Ladapo was let out on loan and suggests he’ll probably be available in the summer too

If he can find his shooting boots we should look to sign him permanently, has looked a real threat and causes problems for defenders. Missed a few decent chances so far but hopefully run of games will sort that out as his career history shows he knows where the net is.

Just looked off the pace from not playing regular competitive matches. Think he will come good

In the first half Lapado rolled the defender about 30 yards out, and took a first time right footed strike into almost top bins. Keeper made a comfortable save, but was a real moment of quality which you don’t regularly see in L1 level. May and Ladapo will be a very good partnership when he’s match fit.

Tried an action replay of his goal against us for Ipswich last season. Of course it went in against us and down the keeper's throat when he's playing for us. :-)

Not sold, but may be loaned out still seeing as Kedwell is out on loan and there 😉

The easily replaceable Dobson making the top 5 duals won, the only one of the 5 who isn't a centre back. 

At this point I am not joking, if we wanted to secure survival, we could buy Piergianni or Dunkley. Right type of characters for a scrap and we wouldn't be so pathetic defensively 

Well our CB's weren't gonna be there.
