What's the point in having Dunk on the bench now that we have a backup CB?

Good team. Like it.

 

[GT49er]

Quite right! Well said that man!

I am extremely confident that we will win and one of our strikers will score.

Good start to the season. On the back of some decent away results. Playing at home on a sunny afternoon against a very beatable team.
Traditionally, this is where we lose.

Hoping for a break with tradition, but I fear 2-1 to Rovers.

Yes, I know that. But this year will be different.

2-0 Albion. Baldock and Murphy

Waste of space on the bench.

Rhodes on Blackburn bench?

 

[fat old seagull]

9/1 (bet 365) Kayal to score ANYTIME! .......this looks really good value for punters

No pre-season. 15 days since we kicked off. He'll be in the squad Tuesday, having missed 4 out of 46 league games.
Goon.

What is the point of having Dunk on the bench for if his head isn't right as if thats the case then we don't need him on the pitch at all.

Lost his place by the looks of it

I very much doubt it.
Zamora was brought in to give us options in the Club Shop as opposed to options on the pitch. I will be very (pleasantly) surprised if he features at all this season. The Championship may be slower than the Premier League but it is more physical as players have less technique. I don't believe he will ever attain anything like the fitness required to compete effectively - even from off the bench.

lol, must be the first time in football that your best C/B who was MOM then gets dropped to the bench.

He will.
Wait and see.
Who cares that it's physical? He played in it two years ago and Kevin Phillips played in it at...I dunno...older!

How very cynical.
