Dobra to save Lambert's career? 09:47 - Feb 2 with 3850 views | Mullet | While it didn't work out for him at Stanley, he was the only threat we had all game. With the Prem interest and retaining him surely he has to start getting time on the pitch? Judge clearly doesn't do enough week in week out, Bishop will also be a bit part player for the foreseeable. How many games could be turned by bringing on Dobra to run in behind the strikers? When we've hurt teams this season it's been from direct running and making them commit, between Jackson, Dobra, Sears and Bishop we should have enough to do this most weeks and change the face of our attack. As much as I'm unconvinced by elements of Jackson and Norwood's games they've not had enough help or service to be effective. | |

I just can't believe Lambert can't see this.. | | | |
Dobra to save Lambert's career? on 10:20 - Feb 2 with 3696 views | LankHenners | Was surprised not to see him on the bench given that Bishop was out, especially considering the talk of ‘might not send him on loan as we could need him here’. Not sure he’s quite ready for consistent starts but certainly has a bit of magic in him and difficult to see him being less effective than Judge. He’s better than U23 level and it’s a bit sh1t for him to be stuck playing those games if he’s not going to be involved in the first team. If he wasn’t going to be seriously considered for the first team then we should have sent him out on loan to league 2. We may have tried to but hard not to believe the club ummed and ahhed over it then let it run out of time. | |

Dobra to save Lambert's career? on 10:37 - Feb 2 with 3648 views | cbower | Been saying this for a while now. Part of the bench should be for game changers - something different - the much vaunted Plan B. With Bishop out yesterday, having Dozzell and Nolan on the bench was an error. Neither would really change the dynamics too much wheras Dobra would. Since he was sent off (and he perhaps should have gone a little earlier tbh), he has had no game time to speak of. Surely this is not Lambert teaching him some kind of lesson? All defenders, let alone L1 defenders, fear direct pace. Other than Bishop, we have nobody that will drive at opposition defences. Yes, Jackson has pace but he lacks control at times, Edwards never seems to have the ball totally under control either. Dobra in the final 20 would get us up the park, frighten defenders and add much needed dynamism to what is, a very one paced midfield. For all his nice touches at times, let's be honest about Judge, he is not delivering enough. His insistence on checking back slows us down and he is incredibly frustrating to me. If Premier League Brighton see something in Dobra (for the future I would guess), surely he is worth a spot on our bench? | |

he could have been on the bench for brighton away at westham in the premier league yesterday if we'd have sold him. but doesn't make the squad for l1 fixture at home to 7000 home fans Peterborough.... strange world | |

A bit different; he'd have been a development squad signing for Brighton, they make a few like that and do it well. I do agree, though, that he should be involved for us now. Has something we simply don't possess elsewhere in the squad. | |

He should probably start ahead of Judge- even if we take him off later. Judge is hopelessly ineffective and we have now built a formation to suit him- despite the fact that we really dont have wingbacks or more than 1 ball playing CB. | |

I thought he might go out and El Miz stay or vice versa, so to see neither getting time and Dozzell too go from starting at Lincoln to nowhere does beg many questions. No idea what Lambert will do for Sunderland. I can see a 433 as the full backs coming in allow it, but that means Nolan is the most likely to be dropped back in the side. Really we could do with Sears ahead of one FB and Jackson the other if that's the case. | |

Dobra to save Lambert's career? on 14:12 - Feb 2 with 3246 views | shady | Firstly must admit that I love Dobs, however... In order to play (even the last 20 minutes) he needs to learn the art of tackling His disciplinary record cards to tackles makes even our Gwion out to be a saint. He's managed four yellows and a red which is some record considering that he comes on as a sub. I don't think he's been harshly sidelined and for the U23's he's given the number 10 role which I think suits him best. | | | |

i blame brentford and bristol city for our demise. judge and douglas from brentford. then skuse and gerken after they had seen bristol city relegated to div. 1, but came back to the championship a season after we took them on. all said in jest | |

Dobra to save Lambert's career? on 14:35 - Feb 2 with 3180 views | Nthsuffolkblue | I think the "direct running and making them commit" is the key more than the personnel. We seem not to be doing it enough regardless who is on the pitch. I think it should be a tactical call to encourage more of it. As you say, we have players with the ability to do so. I would even add Edwards into that. When he first came in he looked capable of it at Championship level. The other two who have done it and we are missing are KVY and Garbutt. | |

This narrative of missing KVY was as telling as it was false, if we hinged entirely on a RB coming up from League 2 then we were already in way too much trouble. Fact is, Lambert simply doesn't read the opposition well enough or react, let alone pre-empt them too often. Rotherham was a perfect example both home and away. | |

Dembele is 23, didn’t make his debut until he was almost 21. Dobra is 18 and has already made his first team debut. He’s been given more opportunity than Dembele had at the same age. | |

Where though? He doesn't run at players in that way, and given how Lincoln panned out he needs far better screening. I guess next to Downes in front of Skuse in a 433 might work and then we can change it. But Lambert simply doesn't manage that way. | |

Next to Downes imo. We didn't need Skuse and downs in front of a back 5. Downes and Dozzell were looking like a decent combo. Huws came in, probably rightly so, but if he isn't in then Dozzell and Downes compliment each other so well. Coventry first half will always stand out in my mind, we were so good. I just feel that Andre has been hard done by personally | |

You can say that about every player this season who has had an absolute mare. Maybe except Flynn who has been consistent. I always say and I know people disagree how can we possibly see the best of Dozzell if he is pulled in and out of the team constantly, it isn't fair on a player. But our fans have already written him off, I like him but for his sake I hope he moves on and plays regularly, but I'm sure it will be a case of one that got away. | |
