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

Accidentally signed! Lol

Have a look through all the posts, people are getting excited about Dabo doing one twos, you mention his cross, Dabo took a player on wooo.

Yeah but he cost us a goal and none of what he did got anywhere. There's a bloke playing in Dabo's position who now has the same assists and goals as OHare but people just dont really like him.

Fact is that given more minutes over a season then Kane will offer more to the team than Dabo which has caused an issue because he is a fan and manager favourite.

Yet he still got an assist and nearly another goal.

Dabo cost us a goal and did some one twos and ran down the wing a couple of times and is hailed as great. People fawing over him putting in a cross on his left foot just because it beat the first man which made a change.

Why r I being such a wum about this nick? I don't get it

No one is saying he's been great. Not sure shud be too much of a review of his performance full stop considering he was not in his specialised role. He was ok considering cb then left back. Same performance at rwb he wud be marked lower

Same goes for if Kane had been playing lwb

I'll bang on again, it can't help him being played out of position either. When he goes back to RWB he'll be thinking about things that were otherwise second nature, and losing a bit of confidence from a ropey display at CB. I don't actually mind if Robins sees him as first choice ahead of Kane, he carries the ball well, gets forward, offers solidity, but he's no centre back.

As an aside, he put in a pretty decent cross with his left foot yesterday!

So true. I said to mates yesterday he puts in far better balls with his left foot. Strange.

Because he got a cross into the box so it's classed as some sort of achievement.

So, a post that says he had a poor game at centre back, pointed out it was probably not good for the team for the manager to play him there as it would mean him losing confidence at RWB (implying the fact he has not been on it recently) and mentioned a cross as an aside is fawning.

Got it.

It's not a fact tho is it lol. Gykres would be championship top scorer if stats remained consistent all season long.

How can you say people don't like Kane? People hail him as better than dabo after sub appearences. That sounds like appreciation not hate!

I think dabo is better player than Kane overall. That does not mean I do not like Kane? Shit I have said multiple times I'm not opposed to Kane starting games at rwb

We have to eradicate this shit from SBT. Healthy debate is what this forum is for not US political style pick a side and defend it crap

Agreed to a point, he was mixed bag in my opinion, some sublime turns and passes on show but also was guilty of the usual Sheaf playbook of turning in to trouble and poor distribution.
I have not been a fan of Sheaf but am coming around.

Hardly Wumming pointing out facts.

People get excited because it's Dabo and they just disliked Kane before he had even played a game for us.

I'm not just on about you am I? It's hardly US political to point it out.

The fact is, people did dislike Kane before he even played just because of QPR and something he said on a podcast.

I am just saying that Kane hasn't been culpable for any goals with an individual mistake yet opposed to Dabos couple so far and has actually offered a lot more going forward.

Getting a bit desperate now, I am shocked you are talking even more shit again though.

Why are you so bitter that you are so regularly wildly wrong? If in doubt, try and make it about race.

What a dickhead, that's embarassing even by SBT standards.

Who are these people tho? Like in terms of numbers are they actually the majority? Cos I could say people loving Kane cos of just crossing. Would I be right? That's all I'm saying. It's a bad habit of debate and I prob fall foul of it myself tbh

I don't think Kane offers anythign over dabo other than crossing. That's my opinion. Dabo made high profile error but he was a cB. Other than that I thought he did some good stuff overall. Kane I didn't notice do anything at all till final 15 mins. Then he did a v good assist.

I don't mind Kane starting but I would want him to impact game more rather than the odd moments gets in position for a good cross. That's not syaing he can't do it either mind you. Just y'day didn't get in good positions much. Be that thru him bot starting those moves and making rubs or thru fault of his teammates.

It was just a bad day at office end of day. But we have two good rwbs and that's a good problem to have

Have a look at the comments about Kane before he had even played for us.

How do you want a game to be impacted more than assists or last minute equalisers? In what way is Dabo "impacting games" more than Kane? I don't get it.

All of our players were guilty of that and are on a regular basis, yet Sheaf has been marked down as a boo boy target.

I'm on about overall play

For me the guy who runs past plays and links with o hare well will help the team more and eventually individual stats will improve too

It's like godden. He scores goals so stats r great but I would prefer a striker who gets invovled in play more

Just my personal preference

It's all well and good running past a player on the halfway line but pointless if you do nothing with it after, surely? After how long will the individual stats improve? Kane's are better than Dabo's in the minimal time he has played than Dabo's in the last 2 seasons for us.

The barrel gets scraped to justify Dabo playing over Kane and it's baffling.

No scraping. Dabo has played and we have been top 6. Absurd to pretend he is a hinderence

Happy for Kane to play. If he adds more to his game on top of crossing it will only benefit ccfc

And that's all that matters. Wether it's dabo or Kane we want city to prosper. disliking either of them is just sad.

I can fully see how Dabo adds value - he carries the ball, links back to front immensely well. Needs to learn to cross with his better foot, mind you!

If we're playing Kane, I'd like to see Walker start to give another option in the box, and different movement to that you get with the rest of them.

So dabo is better because we were top 6 when he did play at rwb?

This is my point, it very much is scraping.

Literally what else do you want him to add to his game? He creates goals from rwb and isn't costing us (so far) defensively.




I'm not the one with dislikes or wanting somebody to play over the other based on them being a favourite. I just want the one offering more to play.
