Lewis Dobbin

Oh we’ll keep him , assuming we can get him to agree a new contract.

Other clubs interested too we have to keep him.

Surprised this hasn't been bumped. Scored a cracking goal for the U23's last night.

Doesn't matter, he could score a hatty in every single u23 game and pie man rondon will still play over him

 

[Sadken]

He must get serious match time v Brentford

…personally, I don’t see Dobbin as a central striker.

Naw, he played full 90 mins last night , as did Onyango, which suggests they won’t be training with the first team today. Using that criteria, Ellis Simms only played 45 mins , so is more likely to be the one sitting on the bench against Brentford wondering “ Am I really worse than Rondon”

I don’t know if you watched last nights game mate but Dobbin played with a 7 on his back , on the right in the first half and looked the sharpest he’s done for a long time . He faded a bit 2nd half.

…we had a chat last season about what ‘type’ of player he was & I said maybe Depay, not sure if it was you who said Richarlison. Regardless, I know a few say he should be ahead of Rondon in the pecking order but I don’t see him occupying CBs in the PL.

He‘s a bright uncomplicated footballer with plenty of talent. i saw his goal last night, as you say that type of position is ideal.

Agree, he’s developing well but is unlikely to trouble PL CBs on his own just yet. He’s still poor , by PL standards, on his weaker left foot so plenty to work on.

I would be all for Dobbin but I have concerns having him and Gordon on the pitch for a game with is a must win especially with such an erratic defence.

However with Gray out for weeks and the other option is Iwobi (eww), I'd would be more open to having him coming off the bench for Gordon/Townsend later in the game.

Because a must win game with Rondon on is a better option?

I would go with a 4-5-1 with an extra man in midfield and Gordon & Townsend on the wings

You mean 4-5-0 then.

Deffo mate, good on the lad. Took it well.

No progress on his contract being reported today.

He can sign a deal abroad in a few weeks apparently.


I’d leg it if I was him.
Sat behind Rondon for another 18 months no doubt.
