One of Adkins’ last games before he got the boot and Jacko took over.
Adkins left Pearce, Stockley, Washington and CBT on the bench that day.
I’m guessing Dobson must’ve been suspended to not have even been included in the matchday squad.
He wasn't suspended, it was during the time after the initial 3 games of the season that Adkins had come to the conclusion that he didn't rate Dobson. Once Jacko took over this was immediately rectified
I’m honestly astounded at the level of negativity around our transfer business and the amount of moaning going on. Let’s remember where we have come from and how different it is now under this ownership who have already spent well over £2m this window.
It’s unbelievable how quick fans forget how bad it’s been before. We are now a well run club buying in experience and trying to sign youth.
We cannot get every target as we are now a little fish in a big pond. But lots seem to have forgotten this.
Agreed teams like Preston and Swansea are massive compared to us.
What a boring, ignorant comment
He was obviously being sarcastic, and people did have to point out that they are in fact established Championship sides
Of course they are established but are we small fish compared to them ? That's my point look at our crowd pull,owners and history I was more defending our position that we ain't small time.
Yes. We are, sadly. Players don't really give much credence to history and past, nor should they. What they see RIGHT NOW is two teams who have spent a lot of time in the Championship and often at the top end, versus one who just came up from League One and who most people view (rightly or wrongly) as having survival as the main aim.
Without spending Birmingham levels of money, we are very much small fish who used to be bigger and hope to grow again.

To be fair to Adkins, Dobson hadn't exactly won the fans over in the first few games either. Read back some of the comments after the midfield three of Dobson, Clare and Morgan stank the place out in the opening three games and they were not complimentary. As bad as Adkins was, Dobson wasn't really the right midfielder for him
I’m getting sucked in now but being reminded of that game has brought back all those feelings of utter despair of having to watch frauds like Gilbey and Gunter
they were dark days and despite the odd run of games, we were a very shit team from the start of that season up until Jones came in
Charlton Athletic, Millwall and Preston North End have made approaches for Mathias Ross following his Galatasaray exit.
The central defender, 24, is available as a free agent after cancelling his contract at the Turkish giants a year early by mutual consent.
Can't see that happening with Bell joining and Burke seemingly very close.
I think we need one more, and given Burke’s injury record, with Bell’s apparent struggles since his own injury…Ross could be the favourite to start. I can see Ramsay playing in the RWB position…which gives us the need for one more starting calibre CB.

Dobson then started in Jacko's first game when we beat Sunderland 1-0 away.

I don't know him, but congrats Preston on your new signing.
Spent the last two seasons on loan in the Eredivisie and Czech League. Sparta Prague had a purchase option after his loan but didn’t take it up.
