Dodd is still to re-sign, Im getting worried.
 
I guess I'm swimming against the tide here, but I think Dodd has been one of our most consistent and reliable central defenders over two seasons.  Sure it was a mistake to play him in midfield, but he's really impressed me over both seasons.  He's always calm on the ball and attempts to play football rather than just kicking the ball upfield.  Ricki's certainly used him extensively in the last two seasons, and he must be doing something right if the rumour that Adelaide is interested in signing him is true.  If he does go, then I think we certainly need to sign another quality central defender, which will probably need to be an import.
 
No, mate I and many others are with you on this one. I couldn't stand the sight of Dodd last year, but since he's been placed at CB he's performed very well (given his level of skills). I think we don't need to invest in another CB at the moment. Dodd, Seamonster and Durante will do just fine. I'd concentrate on getting 2 strikers with bollocks+Cassio. Then, if we have any spare cash, I would get a young and promising Oz/NZ CB, someone to play when needed, gradually.
