[Albion] Coping without Dunk

[tigertim68]

That’s nearly two games without Dunk, and they have been against two of the top teams. Yes I know it’s early days but Could this influence a possible sale in January?

Why ?

 

[Spicy]

No way. He IS Brighton & Hove Albion.

Agreed and he would be a great loss if he went elsewhere. I wish Lewis a speedy recovery.

 

[clippedgull]

Balogun set up their goal and should have been sent off leaving us with one CB for the next three games. No didn't miss Dunk at all.

Yeah but if Dunk had been playing he would most likely have scored their goal himself! (given his own goal record when playing v Liverpool)

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It’s early days but on this form I prefer him to Dunk.

 

[Napier's Knee]

First thing Dunky needs to do is win the shirt back from Balogun - and that won't be easy at all. The early signs are that Montoya--Duffy-Balogun-Bong is our best back four.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm so so so confused.

Bong is shite, not up for the Premier League, one of the worst defenders ever.
Dunk is simultaneously our best player and considerably worse than Mawson. (ok so that's a lone voice, but a loud one)
Duffy is a liability who needs to be get rid of asap.
Balogun is god's gift to centre backs, that won't last.



Am I the only person who reads comments like 'wow Duffy has been immense in Dunk's absence' as 'I always said Duffy was shite it turns out he's not, I was wrong, I just can't say that'.

 

[Murray 17]

I doubt we'd get a serious bid and if we did we'd say no. But....we could certainly cope without him, I suspect.

I know what you mean Harry.

Dunk is a good, but no more than a mid-table PL player. Can anyone really see him playing for a top-six side?

I am not sure I would rush Dunk back though. Of course the Nigerian fella is offski in January for who knows how long anyway!

 

[Perkino]

It's a testament to CH and our tactics that whenever we have changed our centre backs the replacements seemlessly fit in and look superb even though we all doubted if they would be up to the challenge.

AFCON is a summer tournament now.

AFCON is a summer tournament now.

I thought that was the whole reason in signing the Fulham keeper as we will lose Ryan after Christmas.

That's for the Asia Cup. The African Cup is in the summer.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Ahaaaaaaa.

 

[Medwayseagull]

Ahaaaaaaa.

I can confirm Australia is definitely not in Africa and Nigeria is definitely not in Asia.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I can confirm Australia is definitely not in Africa and Nigeria is definitely not in Asia.

I thought it was a competition for both Africa and Asia....but as mr blue corrected me, I am most grateful. No need for the sarky comments, unless it makes you feel so much better. Do carry on though, it's very entertaining reading your contributions .

A Dunk/Balogun combo would suit me best. Both more mobile than Duffy.

Of all the things I find staggering about other fans opinions (inc BG) the, get rid anti Duffy sentiment is by far and away the winner of the:-



award for stupidity.

That's a different tournament. The African Cup of Nations will be held in June and July 2019, a move from it's traditional January/February schedule. Maty Ryan and Ali J will be playing in the Asian Cup which takes place in January 2019.

Duffy has been outstanding this season so far, he looks in better shape than we've seen him before but that might just be a perception rather than reality. Personally, I think Dunk/Balogun is our best partnership on paper but Duffy won't be out of the team unless he picks up an injury or a suspension, and rightly so. He's in possession of the shirt and shows no sign of wanting to surrender it.
