I hate to say it, but I think Dunk may have to bide his time. Igor looks a different player this season, he looked to be carrying a bit more timber last year, seems fitter.

I guess, you can think that, for me Lewis Dunk is going to retire from the heart of our defence with the captain's armband on, and that's a good 4 or 5 seasons away

You may be right, the club may agree with you, he may get injured, he may retire, he may move on. I promise I love the bloke as much as you and everyone else. He's eclipsed Brian Horton as our iconic top division captain and whatever happens LD's legend is set in stone for decades, so hopefully we can agree on that.

Dunk's time has been and gone sadly, time and succession planning wait for no faithful servant

I'm still not convinced ... Big mistake in him every game.

Bmuff he gave the ball away creating a 1 on 1 for evanilson. Luckily we have a proper goalie to save us these days.

He'll be back in the starting eleven soon enough.

One day someone will make the inevitable happen. But its not going to be Igor in 24/25.

Deffo comes back for Soton if FULLY fit. As well as being a fantastic CB and our captain he's also a threat in the oppo box, something that Igor doesn't appear to be, and isn't yet in JPvH's game enough either.

Whenever he gets back, I would hope that plans are in hand for a quick, young CB to fit in over the next season or so for the future.

This.

Igor’s second half was excellent, but his first half was really poor, both positionally and in possession.

The question posed by the OP is a really good one, something I have been pondering for a while. Love Dunk to bits but I am beginning to think time has caught up with him. I just hope the club finds a way to bow him out in the most gracious and respectful way possible. I am on the fence with this one. Only the coaches know what value he will bring onto the pitch, but sad to say I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of an era

Erring towards no.
