[Albion] Any news on Dunk?

[Norman Potting]

If both Bruno and Dunk are out next week, who captains the side?[/QUOT

Calderon via Skype?

 

[Norman Potting]

Agreed. He just slotted in there and was unnoticeable. Did nothing wrong and did what he had to do with the calm assurance of an international defender.

I think the BBC commented on that.

Didn’t Stephens captain the team today after he went off ?

Yes he did. Next in line.

 

[knocky1]

Well?

Been told to go to the pub until it's better.

I'd say he was faultless, tbh

 

[Barham's tash]

Murray I'd expect.

The person that did today - Stephens.

Seen apparently getting an ambulance after the game. If so looks like a metatarsel

 

[The Tactician]

Spoke to him after the game. Protective boot and crutches.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Murray I'd expect.

Duffy surely. I'd imagine it's Duffy, then Stephens.

Oh. Was about to type it would obviously be Stephens, but maybe not then?

This is the precise reason you need a top class third centre back. Remember we got lucky last season with only Duffy of our pair missing just the 1 game. Very impressed with Balogun because it was hard to tell watching Nigeria in World Cup what he was.

I hope that it isn't a serious injury but must admit when he went down I thought that it was done to disguise his mistake in losing the ball but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

 

[studio150]

Given his goalscoring record at Anfield Dunk will be upset at missing next week

Nigerian.

I thought Balogun looked class today, if Dunk is fit for next week I really hope CH plays all 3 of them (Dunk, Duffy & Balogun) at Liverpool next week, with wing backs, to tackle the threat of Liverpool’s front 3. A 4-4-1-1 formation away from home is clearly not working for us.

Nigerian.

German

No chance. Can’t believe Hughton would go for an untried and untested line up after such a great performance and win. Ok we were crap at Watford but CH will look at resolving what went wrong rather than starting with a clean sheet.

Yes we were crap at Watford and that was largely caused by our formation - we got completely overrun in the middle of the park because Watford packed the midfield playing 2 banks of 2 and relied on their full back for their width. Liverpool play a similar way by having numbers through the middle of the pitch with the front 3 playing narrow with 3 central midfielders while their full backs provide the width and Liverpool tore us apart last season. We need 3 central defenders and 3 central midfielders and use wing backs to give ourselves any chance of matching them, competing and confining their space.

I tend to agree with you that CH won’t change anything however we were crap at Watford and that was largely caused by our formation - we got completely overrun in the middle of the park because Watford packed the midfield playing 2 banks of 2 and relied on their full backs for their width.

Hope the injury isn't too serious. A poor first touch from Dunk has caused his injury sadly.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Ben white on the bench then. Was wearing a protective boot so must be out a few weeks.
