Hughton on Dunk: "Yes it is a concern"

[StonehamPark]

..."individual errors are costing us."

He has defended him so much in the past. Now it sounds like he has had enough. Really hope greer is back next game.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Ouch, that's damnation indeed. Can't believe a manager like Hughton would publicly say that. Perhaps Dunk will get his act together soon.

 

[penny's harmonica]

Shocked by that. Makes me wonder if CH sees him here after January

 

[TomandJerry]

Dunk OUT

 

[StonehamPark]

He's surely only in the squad each week as there's no better option.

He's been great in previous seasons but is having a seriously bad patch. Hughton must be tearing his hair out having no alternative.

Hun/Greer are needed to be fit for the run in, they started brilliantly together and will have the most experience to get us across the line.

 

[Quinney]

He has made a few balls up recently to be fair.

 

[StonehamPark]

Likely to get shot down, but what about a punt for El-Abd?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Time to give him a long rest

Me too. But these mistakes don't mean that Dunk is a bad player, just going through a bit of a dip in form, that's all.

A dip in for that has lasted since last January? This is nothing new. Dunk has been making these mistakes for a long time

Much more than a bit of a dip, for Hughton to single him out like that.
He's majorly contributed in BHA losing 5-7 points plus a potentially lucrative cup-replay (and possibly 4th round game).

Dunk's errors are costing BHA in all senses.

This is one thing I didn't expect today. Did he really single Dunk out for criticism? Amazed about that, he is so controlled in his comments.

Well, he meets that one vital qualification for an NSC recommendation - he's played for us before!

(see also Noone, Murray, Ulloa, etc, etc.)

 

[dwayne]

He's talking about individual errors across the whole team.

Not that harsh

 

[WhingForPresident]

Dunk is not a bad player, we all know that. Is it a confidence thing, is it something in his personal life? He and the staff need to work out what it is, sharpish.

To be clear (and fair), he didn't slam Dunk or name him.
JC said (something along the lines of) "there have been quite a few defensive errors in recent games, is that a concern?".
Hughton: "Yes it is a concern" ... "individual errors are costing us".

He's talking about individual errors across the whole team.

Definitely not, if you heard the post-match interview, he was talking directly about defensive errors and JC mentioned Dunk immediately before CH said "individual errors...".

Brian Owen briefly mentions it here (The Argus).
