I don't dislike Keates...how could you? He's a local lad and he gives 110%. Fact is though, he's just not good enough to be a professional footballer.

No, no, no! Dobson is twice the player Keates is (thinking about it, more than that!). As Neil says, he's having to play midfield on his own. Watch Keates, he chases around like a headless chicken, leaving "his man" unmarked, and leaving Dobson with 2 players to mark.

Agree with you there...it is a little baffling. It is time a different option was tried. Let's give him the benefit....perhaps he's waiting for Wrack to regain full fitness?

I humbly apologise....Wrack was definitely my "love to hate" player before his injury because I'd felt for several seasons, he'd played way below his potential. But credit to him, he's won me around already with his displays and his courage in coming back from such an horrific injury and being prepared to go into challenges like he did in the last home match.
