I didn't enter anything about him having 4 arms!

I like dobbin as I said in my post so please don’t get the wrong idea. I thought the drive for the pen was special. He hit the turbo charge just when he needed to. But tbh if he’d made it past the defender his angle was not the best to capitalise. 
the assist for the goal I can hardly remember but I think it was a very modest display of skill. Credit to Sibley for finding that space, it was a simple pass. Messy deflected shot though compared to theirs, it could be their goal of the season 
 
Dobbin made the bye line several times and failed to make a simple cut back to a man in dangerous space. He’s still learning. 
 
I do realise it’s nice for him to be motm. I’m just saying there were probably 4 other more worthy winners 

Nobody. If I don't like someone I don't want to watch them, full stop, even if it's them 'suffering' (for a massive fee and free publicity).

POTY so far IMO, even including the RWB stint which is hopefully over forever. 
It irked me that he ended up at Sheff Wed's in L1 last season tbh rather than with us in the Championship. Would have made a real difference. 
He's certainly not just a powerhouse, could tell that even in pre season. 

Make that 2 assists (no video, told it was a nice through ball)
Class will out.

Funny thing is it's not really even his wing play that seems to result in an end product.
The wing play causes havoc and helps get us behind the opposition,  of course,  but it's more when he moves into the middle of the pitch and can pass it rather than cross it that he makes a direct contribution to a goal.

Hourihane didn't really  'run about' on Saturday though, fastest he moved was the tackle he launched into which another ref (especially the ones in this league!) might even have sent him off for.
It's amazing the difference a player getting a spectacularly clinical hat trick from 3 (not even easy) chances can do for the perception of some of your other players.
We jumped on their mistakes whenever we could,.but I don't necessarily think it was the pressing that caused the mistakes in the first place.
We used our experience to control the last half hour, similarly to the Accrington away game, plus a bit of time wasting too, it's not like we all ran strong for 90.minutes.

5th top scorer and 3rd in assists in the league so far this season.
One of a few of our players who were badly mismanaged at the time and destroyed their confidence. I'm glad he's proving himself to be an excellent player.

It does also help that McGoldrick's fitness has improved. Of course he wasn't scoring goals earlier in the season, he was barely fit enough to play 20 minutes!
He was always likely to have an impact when fit though , there were early signs of it first half against Plymouth when he chased down a defender and layed it on a plate for Collins to open his account.
In addition, we've recently been playing against teams with worse defensive records then those we faced early season.
With 4 of our next 6 league games being against Morecambe, MK Dons, Burton & Forest Green I'm expecting a lot more goals for us, but the real test will be getting something from Sheff Weds & Portsmouth.
