[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Ben White still out on his earhole.

Got married on Sunday probably on his honeymoon next couple of weeks

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Calling the coach a four letter word ( maybe) probably has something to do with it?

Allegedly.

 

[Hugo Rune]

What a joke, he has been playing at this level for years. The worst part is I'll have to watch England now.

Southgate is a disgrace.

I’d stopped supporting England prior to the last World Cup for a whole host of reasons. I’m seriously conflicted now. I’ve felt much better not having to follow the national team and simply not giving a shit but now it’s different. The last match I probably watched was the Euro final vs Italy. If Dunk plays, I don’t think I’d be able to miss the game.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Guess the pressure on Southgate got too great for him not to finally include Lewis Dunk.Tw@t still can't bring it upon himself to omit Slabhead tho. What a loser. Potter will fit right into that timid England set-up when the inevitable call comes

 

[Littlemo]

Glad for Dunk, well deserved.

 

[chaileyjem]

I think there's a good chance that if March had not been injured and he'd retained his form over the last few weeks he might have made the squad as well. (perhaps over Eze) and given that Sam Johnstone has made the squad then you'd have to say that if perhaps Steele had had more of a season with the Albion he would have been in with a chance as well.

Also - Colwill should be in the senior squad not the u21s .

 

[Albion Robster]

Lets not get too carried. The Palarse Prick has bowed to media pressure and selected the most in-form centre-backs but he won't give him any minutes next week.
Is Sam Johnstone currently a better keeper than Jason Steele?! More Palarse biased right there.

Raheem Sterling among star names likely to be omitted from England squad

'90min understands that Brighton trio Lewis Dunk, Solly March and Jason Steele are in contention for call-ups.'

It was never going to be all 3 but still slightly disappointed for the other 2.

Solly March is injured, so even if he had been in contention I'd imagine that that would've ruled him out.

Very much this.

Too gutless to make the decision himself, he's only picked Dunk because the pressure to do so has come from literally everyone in the game, as well as the bare facts. I'm surprised Dunk didn't tell him to f*** off.

 

[Sheebo]

Ben White still out on his earhole.

cant see him coming back in if the rumours are true about a row with Steve Holland…

Chuffed for Dunky but long overdue. Don’t mind Southgate for the success he’s had on the pitch but his squad selections are becoming more and more questionable. Time for a fresh start I think.

So annoying the home game is at OT though

 

[Lethargic]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, he's only gonna keep the bench warm.

 

[Littlemo]

Didn’t he walk out on them during the World Cup? You can’t expect to do that and get back in the team.

 

[Originunknown]

"It was impossible to ignore Lewis' performances" You've managed to do it for 5 years Gareth you silly prick

 

[chrisg]

Exactly this

 

[portslade seagull]

Pleased for Dunky but will the buffoon actually play him

 

[JBizzle]

Very much this.

So... basically he can't win. He's a loser for not picking Dunk, now he's only picked him because of some imagined pressure? Come on.

Dunk didn't tell him to **** off because, unlike some, he's a grown up and a professional.

 

[Weststander]

Brilliant news for Lewis. Demonstrating "Never give up on your dreams".

@sheebo you must be elated.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

This quoted post on the Palace board, about them getting 3 players called up, did make me chuckle:

Agreed, if slightly tainted by having to train with Slabhead & Cunk.

The Waistcoated Tactical Pigmy still won't know what to do with Lewis.


Dunk should have 'retired from international football', years ago.
Nobody needs and has earned a long holiday more than him.

 

[Seat Stealer]

Thoroughly deserved. He is a Brighton legend. Who would of thought that half the England back line could be Brighton/ex-Brighton players. How times have changed for this club. Not just a great defender but an excellent captain too.
