I wonder if Dunk would have been rested had there not been so much focus on him. It could have been spun as rewarding Goldson with a first team place, but because so much fuss was made, it would have become Dunk being blamed, and now it's the manager showing faith.

**** off Lino.
Didn't take long for Elvis to lose his place though. Can't wait to have Baldock back.

is Towell injured or something?
Oh god, during the 2 months of taking the wee-wee it never once occurred to me that it'll come back and bite me on the arse.
I'm going to bet on a Derbyshire hat-trick just to make sure it definitely doesn't happen, or at least softens the blow of utter humiliation.

Odds on that he'll score gains us now.

Good bet. Declined it though.
I've never seen Knocky play well, but Leicester fans did not half rave about him. At least until Vardy came along for them.

It'd be nice to see Hemed net tonight, as for Dunk I think he can count himself lucky. I hope he can repay Hughton's faith in him, another **** up and we've got a more than adequate replacement waiting in the wings.

Dunk, What calamity tonight.

I think that's Hughton's thinking. Time for Lewis to step up.
If Greer & the impressive Goldson had had a chance to build any sort or partnership or understanding together (such as the Greer with Uwe) in competitive matches, Dunk may very well be bench warming. But CH is right to go with the experienced partnership; Dunk is one mistake away from being on the subs bench.
I'm going to buck the trend here and say, apart from the random and momentary acts of sheer stupidity, I think Dunk has been playing really well.
Goldson has looked very good too, but, as expected, somewhat measured.
I think a nice gentle start to his Albion career is exactly what's needed.
We can safely say he'll be getting another run out before Uwe is fit, by which time Greer and Dunk would have totted up enough cards to keep Connor still #3 in the pecking order.

Come on Lewis. Time to sort your sh1t out. Last game at Rotherham the cross was down to you.....get your mojo back.
Be fine tonight.

strong and stable with me, or...
Why?
why would anyone belittle this proven goalscorer with this fixture on the horizon. Tantamount to treason to the Albion in real terms. You'll be hanging your head in shame next time I see you in your shorts queuing up for a pie!

disappointed to see Goldson dropped. even more disappointed to see hemed start. Again. (cue hatrick).

So, you're banking on Dunk to dig you out of your Derbyshire hole are you? Good luck with that, eggs all in one basket I'd say, a basket case!
