Stupid decision. Dabo in poor form, bench him and make him earn his place

This makes zero sence!
MR needs to have a good long look in the mirror tonight!
If Dabo and O'hare start the next game there's something seriously wrong behind the scenes!

The first goal illustrates Dabo is not a centre back and will never be a centre back. Please take note MR.

The back 5 at the moment should pick themselves : Maatsen, Hyam, McFadz, Rose, Kane. Dabo on the bench. We were unbalanced today due to the set up. Many managers seem to be very stubborn, I just hope Robins and Viveash have a good look at it and at least play players in their right positions.

Yeah, utterly baffling.
I know Hyam has his faults but on the other occasions Dabo has played CB he looked miles out of his depth, not just Bournemouth last week but even the Forest & Reading games early in the season when we massively improved when he moved to WB & the equally poor Dacosta got hooked. He is caught out positionally constantly, misjudges high balls & really struggles to stay in line with his other 2 CBs - You could see Fadz constantly having to instruct him.
This is not his fault at all, to be expected when playing out of position, but just makes the managerial decision bewildering.

Agreed 100% but I think we have every right to debate this particular tactical decision.

We 19th in the form table which matters more at this point in tine. At this rate we won't be 6th for very long.

Btw we were 3rd at one point. Just saying

Crazy decision to break up the back 3 by playing a player out of position if we didn't need to in terms of injuries

Not really, every team has good spells & bad, that's what makes it one of the most competitive & exciting leagues in the world.
It changes so so quickly.

Assuming you're looking at 6 game form table?
Bournemouth are 18th in that yet 3rd in the 10 game form table.
Conversely, directly below us in the actual league table are Stoke, they're 7th in the 6 game form table but 19th over the last 10 etc.

Much has been made this week that Sillett's success with us started from the position of putting 'round pegs in round holes', so its a shame MR didn't follow suit yesterday with Dabo playing centre back. It looks like it was a case of him trying to shoehorn both Dabo and Kane into the team. Even when he changed it at half time it was Maatsen he removed so I wouldn't be surprised if next week if it is Maatsen he leaves out, and retains Dabo at LWB.

Ok?
I never debated where we were in the form tables, nor am I surprised by it given our run of games. My point was that other teams go through the same thing, often despite playing easier games.

It's a lot like all the "sleepwalking to relegation" posts last season, everyone only looking at ourselves & believing the rest of the teams around us somehow win every single game.

Maatsen was given a rough time yet again yesterday, dabo however played the winger well when he went across and it resulted in the winger being substituted.

Dabo at CB didn’t work. The problem we had first half was giving the ball away in the defensive 3rd all half!

We invited them to go 0-2 up!
I understand we need to stick to our principles and at times, we play some lovely stuff but we play out of the back, lose it and then we wonder how we’re 0-2 down.

Balance was wrong yesterday, played 10 yards too deep and tactically not cute enough. We move on, hopefully lessons learnt.

Robbins has used him there before and it didn’t work. Trying the same and and expecting a different outcome is as they say madness. We have a great platform for a top 6 finish… I expect MR to have a plan

It didn’t work in the first game, Dabo isn’t a centre half, and Robins has accidentally signed a better player in Kane. He’s now trying to shoehorn Dabo in anywhere he can.

I love Dabo, but he’s not a CB
