I like Dobson as a player but she's no Katie Stengel who banged in ten goals the season Dobson was not resigned.
There's absolutely nothing to suggest the decision to mover her on was anything other than a team / tactical one.
The team actually improved from 5th to 3rd and brought in a lot of new players both decensively and attack wise.

Someone had to make way and unfortunately it was Dobson.
Not a case of her being no good - just about finite funds and places available and the club choosing a different mix.
