Let the apologies be as loud as the disrespect4

Will sign for a Championship club in January3
-
Curbs said his passing is underrated, and that he’s a good passer short and long.1
-
Some good play for the goals today.0
-
At times I just don’t believe how Dobson is still playing in the third tier. He has great vision and control that is more belonging to at least div2. I hope we increase the size of his pay packet with a good contract not too soon.2
-
Those of us that keep saying he is overrated need their heads examined 😂 the bloke gives 100% every game makes so many tackles and is underrated in terms of his passing ability. Championship bound in January I think5
-
He is a no brainer for a championship club to take, I hope they overlook him and go after a show pony instead but I'd have him in my team every time.1
-
Brilliant play to start the move for the third goal.
But did have two major cock ups that on another night would’ve cost us goals. Especially the second one where he passed it directly to their striker would’ve been punished at a higher level.

The only reason he is in League one is his pace. Same kind of reason why JJ spent most of his time in L1 too.1

"A limited workhorse" !
A quote from last week.
Other than one shocking pass that nearly led to a goal last night his passing was excellent and showed some great skill on the ball.
George Dobson has been carrying the midfield for a couple of seasons, and with hopefully Louie Watson getting fitter to go with his skill on the ball a partnership can develop and they can pull the strings like they did against Wigan.0 -
Has gone up a level this year. Great great player.5
-
To be honest, Dobson always turns up best when he's had a bit of doubt thrown his way. He's very good at responding to his own weaker performances. If he could improve his positional sense a bit more he'd be a much better player. I wonder if Appleton works on that with him or if they just let Dobson be Dobson

He has added the pacy forward pass from deep this season.0
-
A lot of our fan base rightly put a lot of emphasis on what Curbs says. On more than one occasion Curbs has said he would have had Dobson in his team5
-
Very decent performance after two underwhelming games. So many beautiful turns and composed touches. Kept the game ticking along nicely. Was vital he didn't get a yellow so we have him for Pompey where he's going to be needed

Like every other footballer on the planet he can have an off game, but people who doubt Dobson's qualities must be short sighted. Ask Curbs.6

Some stat, definitely his best season under us so far, really hoping he signs that bloody contract5

But apparently some think he is just a donkey. He has hit a few forward passes recently that have been right on the money but he never seems to get credit. He is someone who once gone will be appreciated for what he does. Again I will mention that Curbs has said he few times now that he gets into ANY of his old teams9
-
Maybe he'll wait & see what happens in January re improving the team. Of course January is a difficult window but Appleton seems to be mentioning it a bit.Braziliance said:Some stat, definitely his best season under us so far, really hoping he signs that bloody contract0 -
I think he will be off personally. He will have decent offers for sure maybe not in January but for sure when he is out of contract sadly. It would show we mean business if he extended with us but I don’t think we will get anywhere near what is on the table. Championship club will sign him I think0
-
It would be huge to see Dobbo go. Especially if you look at Fraser/McGrandles consistency.
Apparently the club are offering pretty piss poor contract to him to extend.
If that's the case, don't expect some magical squad improvements in Jan. There's a reason we have Tedic, Abankwah, Campbell etc (£ v ££)0 -
Dobson's been pretty poor the last two games imo, we need a response akin to what he mustered at Wigan. I don't necessarily think a world without Dobson will be all doom and gloom if he is leaving, although when he's good he's obviously very effective indeed. Hope he signs a new contract and knuckles down and stops shooting with his left foot or going for so many hero passes

Dobson this season has been a better "footballer" than in previous years. Better passing and shooting, more box to box. It has left gaps in front of the back 4 though, as he's now a less effective shield, often being dragged out of position as he chases the ball. Our poor defensive record isn't just down to the defence.2

Can't wait to see what our defensive record looks like when we lose the only midfielder who tackles, though...killerandflash said:Dobson this season has been a better "footballer" than in previous years.

Would like to see if there is a correlation between tackles won and goals conceded tbh0
-
Without Dobson, our midfield has a huge hole in it. Like it did in the Pratson era.
I think you might have missed the point about him signing a contract and knuckling down. There are a few players earning more than him and I believe he just wants parity and a contract longer than a year. Perhaps a tactic to get him to move on for £100k or so in Jan?1
