Get back to your box room and give your Dabo Teddy a little cuddle.Hugely damaging insults , how will i ever recover .
You wouldn’t want to be if you were stuck on a desert island with Evo and his ticket stub collection.Im alive
I don't think anything is being rewritten but I'm pretty sure he played for us when injuries should have prevented him from doing so, which has probably helped lead to his forced retirement. We should also keep that in mind when judging the latter part of his time with us.
Wait a minute, you can get Dabo teddies??
You post a lot like that LeicesterFox numpty. What does sock plus puppet equals?Proved you wrong at every point. You tried to get some some of your creatin forum friends involved and you all ended up looking like a bunch of nerds. You lot haven’t had a shag between yous.
Your on here all day as you have no real life, this is it
After seeing him score 2 OGs at Oxford, I’d never have believed he’d be such a good player for us. Just goes to show. Best RB in L1 that year and decent in the early days of the champ until the injuries caught up. A reminder that you have to have a bit of luck to make it to ‘veteran’ status.
Do yourself a favour pal and fck off back to where you crawled out off. This forum is for like minded people to discuss the club they love not for some prick looking for attention hiding behind his keyboard in his mums spare room tanking one off because hes being all hard and expressing his mental health issuesWould be good as penalty coach for rugby players
Regardless of his impact, he wore his heart on his sleeve and genuinely seemed to really care about what was happening. He looked genuinely crushed at the end of that Oxford game he scored 2 OGs in. Very likeable player.Yeah, I get that, and I don't want to be a downer on it. I just think the sentiment across the fan base paints his time here a lot differently to what it actually was because of the admiration of him.
One great season, one ok season, two terrible seasons. That is not a good overall input really. Very little goal contributions with about one assist a season in the last 3 seasons he was here, including not a single goal scored other than own goals, despite playing largely as an attacking wing back. Missed the penalty at the playoffs as well.
We talk as if he is some sort of city legend, but I just don't see it I am afraid. I respect other people see it differently.
Because they didn't step up.Never understood why he took that pen when there were, I’d say, more experienced / expected penalty takers yet to step up.

Yeah, I always thought the kikes of McFadz would have been one of the firstDabo was a top Champ level player when we were at L1 level. Can’t remember what game but I remember the opposition targeting him and kicking funk out of him until he went off. Never seemed to recover.
Brilliant player.
Never understood why he took that pen when there were, I’d say, more experienced / expected penalty takers yet to step up. Robins should have sorted that but apparently, he left it to the players to decide.

In critical high pressure situations people need direction and leadership. The manager (The General in military terms) should give direction either directly or by delegation to his team leader on the ground. In this case the captain on the field. Fadz. Take soundings and then decide who. That way, responsibility on the individual is reduced and pressure is reduced.Yeah, I always thought the kikes of McFadz would have been one of the first

I do appreciate that not everyone was there for the 2019/20 League One season given we have about 23,000 more people going to home games.
I also get that some may still to this day feel fragile, upset and want to cry on about a single penalty kick to try and keep the club in a playoff shoot out we might have still lost anyway.
Fankaty Dabo was our player of the season in a league winning team.
How many other living former players do we have who've won player of the season in a league winning Coventry team?
We managed to spend seven seasons in Leagues One and Two and if we hadn't got promoted then, I don't think it was a given that even now we'd have been promoted to the Championship let alone make it all the way to the Championship playoff final in Dabo's final season with us.
You're entitled to disagree, I just don't entirely understand where you are coming from.
I don't think anyone is disputing that first season, which was really impressive. Based on that alone you are bound to have fond memories. Personally I was at St Andrew's every week so I saw just how good he was.
It's the ignorance and denial towards the rest of his time here, and the defensiveness from some people who want to pretend he never missed the penalty (or that it doesn't matter) that tends to fuel the counter argument really. It probably wouldn't be necessary, but as has been mentioned, we have some rewritten history here, because after a second season which was just about average, he was here for another two and was very poor. I can recall some people here getting very upset about it when it kept getting highlighted, but it is just the facts. It is almost unique to have a player so good at one point, and so bad at others over such a spell, but for the majority of the time he wasn't good enough in the end.
On the flip side, I do know where you and others are coming from. You are sentimental about him and therefore largely unable to look at the overall picture. We should collectively wish him the best though, he's obviously had a lot to deal with having those injuries which must have also been hard mentally, and I hope he can have a great future with whatever he decides to do.
remember the good stuff.A genuinely likeable and talented player in our first title-winning season in decades, who deserves a better legacy than injuries and penalty shootouts will allow him.
