Shane "THE ROCK" Duffy

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

What a superb signing he is proving. I thought he was superb today and MOM was between him and Baldock.
He won every single ball in the air and is getting better and better every game. For the 1st time today, I thought he was better than Dunky.
That tackle, half way through the 2nd half was a "champaign moment". Absolutely crunching tackle that won the ball
A brilliant signing which has resulted in the best centre-back pairing in the country.

I should have waited 10 minutes, instead of posting this on the ratings thread:-

As good a place as any:-

I know Baldock's goal was fantastic.
The penalty was at 'my' end.
Knockaert ran in, in front of me, but the action I could watch all day was...



...at some point, in the second half, Duffy (who else) cleared a ball during which time he and the ball quite possibly past through their forward.
Had the Berlin Wall been in front of him, there'd now be a Shane Duffy shaped hole in it.

Quite magnificent.

And only 24......With Dunk they must be the youngest partners at that high level, surely?

We have had a few Duffy posts recently on the same lines.....was at fault for the Brum goal, curiously rather like the late Preston equaliser. But he is immense, literally and metaphorically and the perfect partner for Dunk.

When he heads a ball it flys

What I like about Duffy he is still relatively young for a central defender, imagine he may peak in 10 years time and have 10 years of experience and eliminate a lot of his mistakes. Quite frightening the potential he and Dunk have as a potential long term pairing.

I just love it everytime there is an aerial duel looming and he is moving with the attacker to challenge he seems to leap an extra foot added to the ferocity with which he attacks the ball. It really is a thing of beauty.

Not as much as Stephens was!

 

[Sheebo]

No you're wrong. He's shit and has a 50p head and Blackburn have mugged is for £3.5mil remember... That's what Twitter told me.

Not many people know he sings beautifully as well, wouldn't have thought that he'd have such a sensitive voice.

He'll be twenty five on Saturday. Hopefully he gets the perfect present of three points on Friday night

Perhaps you should post some of the quotes about him after the first few appearances ? Show who the STUPID idiots on here are

I think putting the Blame at Duffy's door for Brums goal is a tad harsh. Sometimes you have to accept that good goals will be conceded without blame. It was a good goal for them.

I watched a clip from last season yesterday and seeing Greer running around in defence seemed an absolute lifetime away. I loved Gordon, always came across a great bloke, and he was a fantastic value signing over the years.

But Duffy and Dunk are simply on another level. People from other clubs look on at our centre halves now with envy. I find it hard to believe that we were still relying on Greer only a matter of months ago. It's a different world now.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

He is immense. I was surprised when we broke our transfer record on a centre back but what a decision it has turned out to be. Him and Dunk are the best partnership I have seen in 27 seasons of watching Albion. If we do go up, I think they'd be a very good Premier League pairing for us.

You thought Greer was good looking, maybe that clouded your judgement?.

Interesting dual forthcoming on Friday with Ricky Lambert.

Say, when we do arrive in the premier league, and play West Ham, a corner comes in, Duffy challenges Andy Carroll, AC scores, would SD be at fault?
No, I don't really think so, AC wins majority of the aerial heading duels.
It's a learning curve for him.
There are taller CF out there

My point entirely. A good goal is a good goal.
As was our first today. An individual piece of skill sometimes you cannot stop.
