Very poor from Dunk. I agree with those saying Van Hecke was worse and I think his form has generally been off a cliff since his great start to the season

And I guess Igor f***ed up when he came on last week

So i'f i'm honest, i'm not sure who we should be playing centre back

I think JPVH’s form has been off since Dunk returned to the team. There’s certainly been a drop in form since Lewis came back, not that I am putting our entire performance down to him - I am not - but the dynamic at the back isn’t clicking as well. I think Lewis has slowed everything down too much.

Dunk has certainly had a poor run of games. You can argue there’s been a decline for a while. I agree, but he still has his qualities.

Passing from the backing and starting moves drops off when he’s not in the side. Van Hecke was also off it today defensively, but also made many lose passes.

Dunk also needs Veltman’s brain and voice on the pitch. Tactically Dunk is poor at marshalling the back line, and will talk himself into a booking. We’re also lacking experience in front of Dunk.

We certainly are …for all Baleba’s talent …he’s inexperienced along with Yari

I think there is some over reaction. True, Lewis had a shocker today and really seems to be out of form at the moment.
But I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he is finished. Probably shouldn't have been rushed back when Igor was doing so well.
I for one am not writing him off yet and hope he'll find his way back into form

Agreed, Hurzeler should have left him out until JP or Igor were out for whatever reason

Why not? Some of the best centre backs have balance and poise and feet, with plenty of cunningness and bite. Igor isn't the answer.

They do, but Veltman has spent the majority of his Albion career at RB, he’s played a handful of games at CB and has never looked particularly comfortable. If we get back to a back 4 of Estupinan, Igor, JP and Veltman we’ll be fine.

Anyone trying to defend Dunk based on today’s game has no credibility. He was so poor for goals 2 and 3.

Not a fan of how Dunk keeps getting sucked into midfield to engage their attackers, he’s got no recovery speed and didn’t see him win a header today against Mateta, same against Munoz for Fulham.

Veltman defensively/nous certainly offers more that Tariq…and I’d welcome his return…..whether VH partners Dunk or Igor doesn’t bother me
