    Would still be our best midfielder, comfortably.

    Terribly missed, and I'm not afraid to say it. 
    He is missed, but he's not better than Coventry. 

    Not sure about him vs Berry

    He's definitely better than the others we've tried in the number 8 positions 
    Dobson would walk into this team. Ahead of any of them.

    Don't know why anyone would be LOLing that. Coventry has won more tackles than Dobson this season and we've conceded fewer goals at this stage than we had with Dobson in the holding role. So far Coventry has shown he's a better holder for this team than Dobson was. I liked Dobson as a more attack-minded midfielder and he would give our midfield a lot more control than Docherty has so far. Docherty was the player we chose to replace Dobson once he'd gone and so far he's not making that look like an improvement.

    Anyone who thinks we have upgraded on George needs to give their head a wobble. He walks into our team in any of the current midfield slots. If it is ever proven that Scot is responsible for him leaving he should be sacked immediately

    I like Coventry, he's actually becoming my favourite player out of this bunch, but Dobson just offered more. We don't have anyone that had Dobsons passing range, and his work rates.

    Lol lol …oh dear Dobson would be about 5th choice no where near as good as Coventry, Berry or Doc … it was Dobson who left the club who signed for another club no one held a him to his head , the only person who should be sacked is his agent / adviser

    Dobson was great last season for us, fact. 

    Coventry has been great this season so far for us, fact. 

    Of the two who would I have? Coventry. He's more calm, breaks up play in a more disciplined manner (doesn't lunge into slide tackles) and his range of passing is just as good as Dobson's, plus he takes set pieces (yes they need more work but hey at least we've scored from one, and his free kick yesterday was good) he's also got, I believe, a higher career ceiling than Dobbo. 

    However I would take Dobbo over Campbell, definitely, and probably over Docherty too overall

    Notice he has not been getting in the Wrexham team as of late.

    Shows there strength in depth I suppose.

    Wrexham fans seem to really like him but believe Matty James is just a little bit better.  Parky tried playing Dobson in a more box to box role a couple times but he struggled in that role.

    It's the 2nd time he's posted up a win for a couple of quid.
    80% he's serious
    20% he's 'avin a larf.

    To put it another way:
    He's serious 1/4
    He's 'avin a larf 4/1

    I'll put 15p on 'avin a larf

    Honestly... nothing wrong with gambling on this level. 

    People can add a zero or two to increase thrill level... and potential/inevitable loss

    This is just controlled enjoyment. 

    I've been working with a tenner since the start of the season on my skybet account. Got up to about 14 quid at one point. Now at a fiver. I like the challenge of working on this level. 

    Sure...have bet big before and had e.g. a couple of grand riding on Charlton top half finishes (no, not last season!)... but... this is still enjoyable 

    If you bet long term as a mug punter, the bookie wins

    I'd rather lose my tenner than a grand. The challenge of the bet is the same
    Yes, but why post that you've won £2.11?

    Can't really argue with you there. I started my Bet365 account about twenty five years ago with a tenner and I've never topped it up, though I have taken out £100 twice when the balance reached £300.
    Most of my bets are peanuts and I do use free bets and enhanced odds to give myself a guaranteed small profit from time to time. It isnt going to change my life nor will their algorithm ban me for doing too well. Its just for amusement and keeping score really

    There's a lot of macho competitiveness when it comes to gambling and the size of winnings -  only ever winning. The geyser's predicted a treble. Good on you, mate. Doesn't matter what the stake was. A win's a win!

    But how is winning £1.60 enjoyment? How could you possibly enjoy that?

    As someone who had/has a gambling problem(not had a proper sports bet for 11 years now )  I’d love to have got enjoyment/pain at this level but my issue was if it didn’t hurt(make me feel sick )  the  bet wasn’t big enough and then the pleasure wasn’t there if it won and even if it won I’m so fucked in the head I didn’t bet enough .
    bet£3.65 banned restricted me even though I was a loser , ‘we don’t like your style’  wtf I lose more often than not and only use you if you’re best price , weirdos , 5 bets all around a grand each over a couple,of years and all around evens . Messi any time scorer at 8/11 came in and next day it was you can have £9 on Rooney anytime scorer .
    We all have different thresholds and fair play to swords alive having a cheap hobby, I’d loved to have lost pennies rather than lots of pounds .
    good luck to all , fuck the bookies

    I noticed both Shrewsbury goals were OConell mistakes. He is getting a lot of criticism from Wrexham fans.

    Macho competitiveness lol. More like what’s the actual point in putting a bet on to make a quid in profit. People that put on a couple of quid to get a score back I can understand - you can buy a bottle of wine or a takeaway. But what does one do with 2 quid?

    Exactly this. Staying below the bookies radar :)

    Staying in the black with small wins.

    Fair enough if you can afford to lose more and choose to go that way.
