Indeed. A frustrating paradox for a human skyscraper!

Personally think we're lucky to have a player like B.D.B, gives everything each time he plays, great on the ball for such a tall player, can and would without hesitation play anywhere if required and do a consistent job too.
Yes...he's possibly guilty of a few suspect challenges and positioning with faster players on a few occasions (not today) and his attacking heading needs a bit of work in that he should be scoring at least the amount Duffy and Dunk get or minimum looking like scoring.
But for me he was M.O.T.M today with 2 vital tackles and a solid all round performance barring one lapse of concentration where he gave the ball away outside our box which nearly led to a Norwich goal.
Having said that he's a player every club needs in their ranks but doesn't always have...We're lucky to have him.

He was a man mountain today and imo by far the mom.

He was our best CB today, I thought Dunk had a poor game by his high standards and Duffy also struggled a little.

Looking at the Norfolk weather today, it was forecast as low cloud in the afternoon.
BDB is used to that, whilst LD and SD are not
Thought Dunk played well……. All opinions, Burn was quite careless particularly in the first half, but absolutely no doubt he saved us today.

You leave Gareths water boy alone, the H2o quality has never been better thus improving the whole teams performance.

Clearly BDB's natural level is mid-Championship mediocrity. But always gives it his all, so total respect for the fella
**** me, what has happened to you that has made you into such a curmudgeonly old bugger.

Hmmm. Duffy was struggled to Man of the Match on the BBC website.

No criticism intended of either choice - just an observation.

As I commented on match thread big Dan made 2 goal saving tackles but lost possession which gave Norwich their best chance. Dunk wasn't at his best like most of team, a pass straight to 1 of their players which I think was 1 of big Dan's super tackles. Even big Bob joined in the mistake stats which Norwich fluffed their biggest chance from.

Quality player, another MoTM performance. Well played Dan!
While I'm sure the Wigan game was great, I would settle for a similar display to the one against City in May.
It took Peter Crouch till he was about 30 before he could make a half decent go at heading the ball. BDB is already better than that.

I like this comparison.
He is better than some give him credit for. And like Smith I don't think he's as good as some others think he is. He's a player who never fails to give it 100% and is capable of some very good games. He's also one of those players who when he doesn't have a good game is quite capable of having an absolute stinker.
I'm glad he's getting some praise. He has taken an absolute pounding in the past from some posters.
