It's not just Dods' abilty as a player that is sorely missed, it's the fact that he totally dominated and marshalled his defence - you could hear him shouting at his team-mates from the stand - all that seems to have gone now - the whole team is lacking any kind of discernable shape or cohesion.
The pathetic thing about all this is we have known for 7 months that Dods was on his way.... Somebody should have been being groomed to take over, or someone should have been targetted for transfer as a suitable replacement.
I've always been a big supporter of CC, and I'm quite sure he was fully aware what Dods brought to the team - Did he do enough to persuade those around him of the importance of finding a suitable replacement?
