Calamity Dunk!

[Bozza]

Not at all but I dont thik Dunk should get the flack if it wasnt him. It appears from others that it was in fact Dunk. The fact that I consder Calderon well past it to start a game has nothing whasoever to do with it.

Will reserve judgement until I have seen the tackle on TV or video. Was it a stonewall penalty for those there?

 

[Acker79]

Should we not be 100% before slating hum again.

Since when have you, or anyone on NSC really, needed 100% certainty before commenting on anything on here?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I can only assume he's regretting not opting for the Fulham move. If this has affected his game, his game has affected his chances of another bid. This is probably affecting his game. And on and on. If all this is true then he is FINISHED.

The club should think about sending him to a sports psychologist. Perhaps they already are. He was immense last season. We need him back, not teetering towards the reserves. Not on his salary and duration of contract.

Is his head at West Ham ?

He was immense under Sami, and then good for the second part of last season. This season he has been making basic errors which cannot be excused by his age or inexperience - his errors are very very basic ones. Unfortunately he isn't good enough for us - has the ability but not the character

Hes only any good when playing with a leader like Greer/Upson.

Dunk is, and always has been prone to making at least one mistake per game. Vastly overrated by many on here perhaps because he had a lot of potential but he is now an experienced championship centre back and shouldn't be making the mistakes he does. As I said at the time, as soon as Fulham offered 4m we should've taken their hand off.

 

[Mackenzie]

Now fourth choice CB when they are all fit.

Yes but nobody will offer anything like that now, and he's on a long contract. So the club needs to find out what's wrong, and fix it. Doing nothing (& keep picking him), dropping him or selling him for peanuts (or both) is not an option.

[MENTION=29619]sussex_guy2k2[/MENTION] will probably still blame Greer. We would of been so much better off had we sold Dunk in the summer.

I'd have him 5th. Greer, Uwe, Goldson, Ridgewell and then Dunk.

 

[Mackenzie]

He has had spells when he's been superb, perhaps it's fatigue? I'd be looking to give him a break regardless.

I realise we wouldn't get anything like that money now, I wasn't suggesting we sell him for a handful of magic beans either. What I was saying and I have been saying for ages is that he's overrated , was never worth what Fulham offered and we should've grabbed their offer with both hands. I agree that Dunk needs a spell out of the side to get himself right and maybe fulfill the potential he clearly had

don't worry, I'll add it to the Dunk list of mistakes (and they are lists of mistakes for both players at this stage lol). Not that I've seen the goal, but everything I've heard says it was his fault.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Not going to disagree but he has the potential to be 1st choice. Let's hope we're in a position to give him a rest soon so as he can rectify his game and come back as our best centre half.

 

[Pistol Knight]

Thought Real Madrid were after him........for £15m

 

[Deleted member 2719]

He drives me crazy with his late lunges, sometimes he reads the ball so so early and then he reads it late and ends up fouling. Could it be his stance always rocking back on his heals
He does have talent let's hope he can turn it around.

 

[Pavilionaire]

What IS Colin Calderwood doing with him? As a former centre back, and fairly cultured too having played for Spurs and Scotland, you'd think he'd have the experience to bring him on, but the opposite seems to be happening.

 

[London Irish]

This is a fascinating casebook example of how a player's mistakes were largely ignored by most fansite commentary when he was a youngster establishing himself in the team but now sentiment has turned against him apparently he can do no right. Think he needs fairer treatment than this. If Hughton does rest him (maybe the right thing), I think it won't be long before his positive qualities gets him back.
