Shane "THE ROCK" Duffy

Anyone else just really wanna go on a night out with him

Was surprised - and more than a little hacked off - when we bought him. I mean, I knew we had to replace GG, get in a back-up for our excellent trio of Dunk, Goldson and Hunemeier, but £4M, a club record, for a CB when we all knew we needed a fourth striker............

Oh well - CH and the recruitment team got that one right. I didn't.

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.

He wasn't at fault there. The cross was perfect. He could only have interrupted it by blindly tracking back which would have then taken the attacker out and resulted in a penalty.

Also helps to stop Dunk from collecting more yellow cards, none again yesterday.

Interesting dual forthcoming on Friday with Ricky Lambert.

Rickie Lambert playing for Cardiff is such a bizarre concept.

This, only we didn't need a fourth striker, we needed a #1 striker as Murray and Baldock aren't strangers to the medical room.

Dear god NNNNOOOOOOOO.

I'll take a glass of sherry and a Ferrero Rocher with the boss, if it's all the same to you.

I'm pretty certain right now that if you threw a small car in the air, maybe a mini or perhaps a fiat 500 Duffy would look to head it back. The man is an absolute mountain!

That was me as well. Aside from Duffy's dreadful form with his previous club at the end of his time there, I was struggling to believe that a stalwart of a toilet Blackburn side was going to be an upgrade on Goldson who had already proved to be a revelation, never mind at the price we paid. And then his first couple of games here were really poor and it wasn't looking good at all.

But like you, I was wrong. What we now have is an immovable object, the best defence in the league and the cornerstone of a potential title winning squad.

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.

Well, he didn't win every single ball in the air. If he had, Stockdale wouldn't have had to make that save late on. But he is an awe-inspiring sight when he leaps above opponents.

Fourth striker/another striker, whatever.
