It doesn't make sense to me to lynch the cobbler, sort of like saying let's just get rid of this unhelpful innocent.
I'm all for lynching actual wolves, but if there is doubt and confusion and I don't really have any good idea who a wolf is and I strongly suspect somebody to be a cobbler; I will lynch the cobbler.

The reason being is that he's on the wolves team and aids them, which makes him a detriment to the village. Case in point is this game. What if Fordim had been lynched instead of you so you were left at the end. It would have been 3 innocents to 2 wolves, thus giving the village a chance. The way it turned out the village really had no chance because of the cobbler. The cobbler is a secondary kill to wolves but a good kill nonetheless.
