[Albion] Dunky

Here we go! What a load of bollocks! Dunk been carrying CB partners for years and today was no exception JP was far worse!

that was an absolute disaster class from Dunk today.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Sign of a weak manager that Igor didn’t deserve to be dropped.

You love it when things go wrong, don't you.

 

[Triggaaar]

Bringing back Dunk immediately and benching Igor didn't even need the benefit of hindsight.

You say that, but plenty on here thought we wouldn't have lost the lead against Wolves if Dunk was playing.

I was one of those, Leicester made me realise that was wrong.

 

[Napper]

Not signing a back up the issue

Webster and got not good enough

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Cheers Lewis, club legend and all that but no longer good enough I'm.afraid.

Been saying it for a while. To be fair to Dunk our whole defence needs over hauling. If we're going to play such a highline then we need fast defenders to get back on the counter attack. Our defenders don't have that speed.

 

[Flounce]

JPVH was far far worse than Dunk today, worst game in the stripes probably

 

[Justice]

No, do you think the recent displays deserve any praise?

 

[Hamilton]

At present I’d prefer to see JPVH and Igor as centre backs. No disrespect to the big man.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Very poor from Dunk. I agree with those saying Van Hecke was worse and I think his form has generally been off a cliff since his great start to the season

And I guess Igor f***ed up when he came on last week

So i'f i'm honest, i'm not sure who we should be playing centre back

 

[AlbionBro]

It pains me to say but we need to bring Igor back, the backline is better balanced

Igor is poor and not the answer, Veltman is.

 

[A1X]

Should never have rushed him back in, Igor and JPvH was working as a pairing, absolutely no need to break it up

 

[Brian Fantana]

You say that, but plenty on here thought we wouldn't have lost the lead against Wolves if Dunk was playing.

I see no reason to have seen a different outcome. Dunk has been slowly declining for a while. We've looked defensively shaky for the majority of 2024 IMO, but JPVH and Igor together has been when we've looked the least shaky.

I think there is some over reaction. True, Lewis had a shocker today and really seems to be out of form at the moment.
But I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he is finished. Probably shouldn't have been rushed back when Igor was doing so well.
I for one am not writing him off yet and hope he'll find his way back into form

 

[trueblue]

A 3-1-6 formation probably doesn’t suit him. Or anyone really.

 

[ROSM]

This season Dunk has had a habit of jumping under the ball. Arsenal away and today (3 times) being some examples..he also did it at Fulham and leicester

 

[amexer]

Problems started when he felt he had to bring Dunk on half way through Southampton game

 

[London Irish]

JP was off it today as well - a genuinely weird day (Christ NSC pop up adverts are shit too, only the 4 as I typed this out)

 

[Questions]

I wasn’t happy about Dunk coming straight back in for Igor but I’m f***ed if I’m going to start wading in on our captain.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Igor is poor and not the answer, Veltman is.

Veltman as CB? Absolutely not.
