JPVH was pinging very Dunk like balls out to the left wing. That bit of his game has really improved.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Will Dunk struggle to get back in the starting 11?…

A wise old bird from Swindon mentioned that to me recently about Dunk.
Dunk isn't stupid to think he can walk straight back into the first eleven.
He'll have to be patient like Igor has and haven't we benefited from that.
As I also think Dunk will have to wait his turn, I also think Solly will have to be patient.

For now, I don’t see how he drops Igor or JPVH.
But I suspect Dunk’ll be straight back in.

I read that Fab liked to utilise 3 CBs at St Pauli. Maybe he plays JPvH, Dunk and Igor with 2 wing backs in some future games?

The first half yesterday looked like a back 3 with Veltman as a third CB and Adringra at WB.

If he puts Dunk straight back in, it tells the squad no matter how well you play, you get straight into the squad when fit. He has not been great this season so should have been dropped regardless. Igor has played better than him, so it's a slap in the face if he walks straight back in.

It’s a great conundrum to have now isn’t it? Three class centre backs to choose from or rotate perhaps? Igor has clearly benefited from the run of games and now oozes confidence . Good times!

Yes he will. Once he’s 100% fit he’ll be starting. Nice to have selection decisions to make

No chance he starts for us next season though.
More importantly how does march Ferdi minteh and dunk get into the squad looking at the bench?!

Igor starts. Lack of pace and injuries seem to be catching up with Dunk.
Well ferdi should be starting so it's really tough now.
As it stands moder is out for sure and enciso will be looking over his shoulder. Im not quite sure andingra is up to it either. We also need to fit Gomez in somehow as well. What a problem to have. Enjoy the squad as it will almost certainly be weaker in numbers next season as we will have to offload a few.
I think we need to recruit at least one more starter level CB as soon as we can.
Dunky is a genuine legend but slower than he was. Igor is good but not quite a Top 10 Prem locked in starter. God help us if JPvH got injured too.
If we want to "challenge the establishment" then we need better CBs.

We are indeed privileged to have three quality centre backs and the flexibility they give us.

I'm glad to see Igor benefiting form a run of games. He's really stepped up and is showing us what the algoritm saw in him.

For me, Dunk hasn’t been the same player this season so Igor absolutely should keep the shirt until there is a need to change things.
I personally think the line up we finished with last night is our absolute strongest possible team that is capable of beating anyone. Only possible change would be Ferdi for Gruda. Adingra certainly isn’t the answer sadly and fully justified getting hauled off for his first half performance. Shame we have an international break now to kill any momentum.

These are a good squad.
This is what I was thinking, but seeing you write it makes me wonder if perhaps I'm wrong
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.This is what I was thinking, but seeing you write it makes me wonder if perhaps I'm wrong
(I must admit I can't see the dials on this particular clock as I..... you can guess the rest.)
