Gordon Greer: Dunk should have been POTS

[Mutts Nuts]

If his form had been worse in the first quarter, and he'd finished strongly he would have won. But last time I looked it was Player of the SEASON, not Player of the Last 12 games

You will not win an argument on here by talking sense,best to just sit back and listen to the nonsense

 

[spring hall convert]

He's right.

Whether he should be saying it in public is another matter. The last thing we need is other clubs seriously looking at Dunk.

 

[Guinness Boy]

My heart said Calde and my head said Dunk. The latter has done a great job not only scoring but also covering for Greer's many f*** ups.

 

[8ace]

Didn't Calderon himself say the same thing when handed the award

 

[Telford Seagull]

No need to be annoyed at all. I think you are confusing the Argus' headline "Dunk SHOULD have been player of the season", with Greer's actual quote, which was that "If you asked me who was player of the year, no disrespect to Inigo Calderon, but I would have chosen Lewis Dunk"

He's entitled to his opinion as is everyone else.

100% this! Nothing to it, we all have an opinion and thats his. For what its worth, he is right. I love Calde as much as the next person, has he been our most loved player & one of our better players? Yes. Has he been our most stand out? Not really no.

2 in 29 isn't 'rubbish' for a CB - it's about average really - 3 or 4 a season!

I agree with Greer Dunk is our Player of the season our best player by a country mile,and not just because he scored more goals than our joke of a record signing, yes Calde has a great personality a lovely smile and great teeth but player of the season he is definitely not.Grow up Bozza

You were doing OK until the last bit. As any supporter, I think I'm perfectly entitled to feel aggrieved if I believe a player of ours is disrespecting the fans.

However as [MENTION=3566]hans kraay fan club[/MENTION] points out, there is a significant difference between what Gordon Greer actually said, and how The Argus have spun the associated headline.

Did you really think I was being serious with that bit?

“When you look around the country, the top scorers always get player of the year. .

Albion's player of the season hasn't been its top scorer for well over a decade.

Gordon Greer: Dunk should have been POTS

This has annoyed me a bit this morning.

Greer told The Argus: “If you asked me who was player of the year, no disrespect to Inigo Calderon, but I would have chosen Lewis Dunk because he started the season unbelievably and plus he’s still the top scorer in the team.

I'm only reading what you've quoted, but from what you've quoted, Greer does not say "Dunk should have been POTS", he simply says he would have chosen Dunk, which is not the same.

EDIT - I see HKFC has already said the same

 

[Icy Gull]

Albion fans voted for their favourite player this season not the best player., Greer is right, over the season Dunk was head and shoulders above Calderon. Why should Greer be mealy mouthed to the fans?

Yeh..Sorry if you weren't..

Fair comment about the last bit,I just tried to remove it but was too late

There you are again, spouting those pesky FACTS.

 

[Taybha]

After a season like that im suprised there was a award ceremony at all , the only player that really stood out on the pitch during the time he was on it was Kayal .

 

[OzMike]

I think he was disrespectful to make comments on it.
The decision was made and that's that.
It may just cause bad feelings within the squad, nice one Gordon.

Greer is right.
Dunk should have been player of the season.

He's entitled to his opinion as is everyone else.

Not as team captain in public he isnt.

 

[wellquickwoody]

It also adds some support to the feeling some fans have that Greer and Calde don't seem to get on.

Seems to be more than a grain of truth in this from what I hear.......

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

He may be right, but if I were him I'd be keeping my head down, and not commenting on others.

I know he's the captain (for now) but IMO he's had a pretty poor season.
