DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS

Very decent performance last night by sounds of it, problem with him has always been consistency which i hope he has for remainder of the games!!!

then give him a 1 year extension stick him on the bench and get a premiership class defender in next to BIKEY

[Focher]

he still can't play 'football' though, but his attitude and defensive attributes are unquestionable. There is a pretty good argument to say thats the type of player we need for the run in.

*shudders with fear*

Of course he can play football !

He's a defender, he does defending !

Marek can't tackle, Hunt doesn't win headers and Doyle doesn't block shots on the line but they all play football. It's not in Doobs job description to be the play maker or go on mazy runs.....

[brendywendy]

apparently marek put in an improved defensive eprformance last night, making a couple of great critical and timely challenges

(but he still gave it away criminally a couple of times too)

First game I've seen him put it in for 90 minutes. He lost the ball stupidly once or twice but worked hard.

[moo]

Doobs had a fantastic header from a corner in front of the West Stand, a thunder bolt.

and yeah, Marek put a couple of decent enough tackles in, but literally a couple.

Loved it at the end when he came over to the Reading fans to celebrate. He was loving it!

im not gonna explain for a 3rd time what i mean by 'football' FFS see other threads

At this level and with a young up and coming 19 year old as his defensive partner, doobs has been perfect, loads of experience at the highest level, he has been pretty useful since he has got back to full fitness. I for one applaud him for his performances very professional, strong and calm, somewhere in there is my reasons for him taking the armband.

He's certainly been better than Keown was!

Sorry, tenuous link being that they both came to us in the twilight of their careers with lots of premiership experience behind them and big reputations. In fairness to Keown, his experience was quite possibly responsible for Sonko's improved play.

Yeah, we discussed this before, didn't we?

I think we all agreed that Duberry was better than Keown...

[Alan Partridge]

Duberry 31 at the time of signing?

Keown 38

I don't think you can compare the two, Doobs clearly still had/has a few years in the tank, Keown from day 1 was running on empty.

[papereyes]

The bit that I liked was Duberry leading the celebrations at the end.

He knew he'd had a good game.

[Archie's penalty]

Rosey's passion was great as well - did you see the paddy he had when we let in the goal? Him and Doobs my MOM's last night.

I'm not going to search through the rest of HNA to find what definition of common words you are choosing to use...

Hardly my fault if you don't express yourself clearly 'FFS', and whatever personal definition you have of the word, Duberry does his job pretty well .

[Snowball]

Last night I was pleased for Doobs, and chuffed we won


but let's be clear, speed-wise Pearce and Doobs would be ripped to shreds by Agbonglahor (sp?) and company in the Prem

D'ya reckon?

Doobs is a pretty awful nickname though. In fairness.

im sure something better could be thought up to reflect the shape of his head.

I've heard some people calling him "Grass" but I'm not sure if that will catch on though.

It might grow on me.....
