Dabo clearly has an issue.
He shouldn't play again until it's sorted and if it can't be sorted we need to let him go.
I hope itcan because a fit and firing Dabo is an asset.

Agree

There is something clearly not right with him. He seems fine with the ball at his feet, but he can't seem to turn and is now easily beaten for pace. It's like his feet are in concrete at times.

It's like a different player now with him.

Robins has an obsession with playing him though. See derby or when he dropped a cb to play him there.

Yeah, he's not doing the player any favours. And it's one of the few positions where we've got someone on the bench who can come in and do a job.

yeah and he keeps trying him at centre back even though we've seen it doesn't work (see forest & wba at home last season)

They showed him on Sky almost shaking his leg out as if he just hasn't got full movement at his hip.

Someone posted on here that something isn't firing in his hip, sounds feasible

Why don’t we start Burroughs at right back?
Dunno why he got dropped anyway

I completely agree. Both Dabo and BNC were truly awful yesterday.

In Dabos defence we was playing 3 at the back and bnc never once tracked backed and kept pulling out dabo but tbh non of the players on that pitch had a good game, only one who did his job was sheaf and he still had a shit game

He got a injury like 3 weeks ago, missed a game and never got back into the team

One thing from yesterday I noticed is every time pukki was running to the byline he always had someone to cut it back to every single time yet when cov are attacking and someone is by the byline there is never anyone in the box 9/10 times.

Maybe it is that experience thing again. He does add to a young back line if Doyle is in there too. I can only think that, that is Robins' thinking.

We're a league one team with Gyökeres and Hamer (and maybe Sheaf).

Hamer does many things well but gave the ball away 4 times in the first 10 minutes of the second half. This just puts more pressure on the defence

Not sure on that. I would say Bidwell is good enough for the Championship and Sheaf definitely is. McFazdean has been good enough too.

Jury is probably still out on Palmer and Panzo and Doyle. I think Doyle will be a really good player, but he's still learning isn't he. Needs more time.

Yep playing him at CB has not only not worked, it's usually a horror show. He was getting a lot of criticism from fans around me which I honestly never like to see and its part of it but he just doesn't play that position very well. Not his fault in many ways, hard to judge Dabo when he's playing there...but this is also an out of form Dabo too so I'm not sure what that decision was all about.
