Not sure I get all the hate for Dobbin

Let me first say that I agree he's not looked very good and I really hope that we don't make the deal permanent until there's a massive improvement for the rest of the season.

But is he really even worse than Marquinhos and Gordon, both of whom were essentially anonymous on the field? Dobbin at least seems to provide a bit of pace and get involved there.

And then we have this season's version of Fassnacht, Onel when he starts a game, and as much as I hate to say it but Crnac. Add Ramsey (showed improvement toward the end but looked very similar to Dobbin after a similar amount of games), and I think we've had a long list of ineffective wingers over the last couple of seasons.

We were very lucky to have had Rowe (for a while) and Sainz, and I agree that Dobbin (but also Crnac and Onel) are not currently top Championship wingers, but I don't understand why Dobbin is getting singled out. I think he's also a little unlucky that he's come in right in the middle of our suspension and injury crisis.

Anyway, let's hope that Miles and Jurasek can provide a bit more capability on the wings eh?
