The main thing is, even when he's not playing well in terms of taking his chances (Bolton, for example) Dobbin is still involved in the game. Still makes his runs, still stretches teams, still tussles for the ball. The situation with Mubama has been that while people accept he isn't able to just be Larin Jr, the criticism is that he just kind of goes missing and doesn't contribute to the team and it feels like you're playing a man down
Dobbin's always trying to get involved by comparison. Good performance today, as well as against West Ham and against Norwich. Bolton he was busy but wasteful
