What?! He’s been the best right back since Bardsley as far as I’m concerned and so good in both areas at set pieces |

Nice to have a forward who actually caused the centre halves to think they were in a game. Sensational performance. Get that contract sorted ! |

This is an immense man in all respects and that performance on the back of that very sad news wa even more remarkable. He’s the new Clint Hill for me |

Just so consistent and a leader of men. Such a shame he went to Forest when he was on verge of signing for us a few years back, but glad to have him now |

This.
I would hate to see this from one of our players. Gives off the impression of not giving a shit. Probably not just an "impression" either, just doesn't.
What a waste of a very good talent. |

I make you right. No one else could polish this turd and turn into anything other than a turd. There are some selections that I can’t understand but he worked a minor miracle last season and we just have to hope that he does the same, though we do look unsaveable this time around. Someone earlier said this team’s level is league 1. I’m not even confident about that |

He has made massive mistakes these last two games, taking dunne from right back where he has been superb and putting him at left centre half where he’s just not good enough . Leaving us with underwhelming right backs when Fox could have slotted into his natural position. As for the rest of the team, a whole series of forward players who can’t keep the ball and keep running straight into the opposition |

The new competition is noted but this guy is something else. For a big bloke, his skill, pace and strength going forward is immense and his aerial presence in both boxed is irreplaceable |

As much as I’d prefer to slate him as he’s usually rubbish, I thought he had a really good game. Not just ‘ok’ but much better. He got almost everything right , didn’t blow just because someone fell over (including the ridiculous Smyth) and let the game flow nicely. |

Reply | Centre Mid - do we need Hayden
at 22:43 19 Aug 2024
I'm bored with midfield players whose first thought is always (always!) to knock it back from whence it came. Or win it and look backwards. Hayden is one of them, so no thanks. Hardly anything positive ever comes from them. It's a cowardly way of playing and it makes us totally predicable in that part of the pitch and inevitably we end of going long.
Just for once, could we see one of them get the ball from a defender and look to turn? Is it too much to ask? |

‘Bit of common sense’. We have no idea what he (presumably) said to the 4thr official. If he called him all the c@*nts under the sun, then he will have deserved to go. And he didn’t strike as the sort of ref who either was a homer or desperate to get his book out. Whichever was you look at it, the first was just plain stupid and to then out himself in that position again is utter madenss |

this. There would be no Southgate live-in if we had gone out then, which we deserved to do, saved by a long throw and brilliant overhead kick from the "aren't I just great?" Bellingham. We were shocking throughout.
I thought Southgate's "jump the shark" moment was when, after the first game, bemoaned no Calvin Phillips replacement. WTF?? |

Well it may be recency bias for me, but I’ve been surprised and disappointed in equal measure at the overall lack of accolades for Jimmy Dunne and his role in our staying up. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that we would not have survived if it wasn’t for him being moved to right back. He was simply outstanding (not just good) in almost every game, as good going forward (including hugely influential in set plays at that end of the pitch) as he was defensively, again massively shoring us up at set plays. His defensive skill and direct and positive runs going forward was incredible to see, considering how all of us viewed him previously. And the last minute goal against Birmingham was one of the great moments of this, or any other, season.
We all know he’s a great all round bloke, committed and never-complaining. Must be great to have in the dressing room, just what you need when up against it.
As I said in a previous post, with the exception of Danny Simpson, he’s easily the best right back we’ve had since Bardsley, and I think he’s been mainly overlooked in the huge part he played in our survival.
Whilst I agree on Cook and JCS, for all those reasons- and the face that, in my view, we wouldn’t have had a season without him being installed at right back, he’s my player of the season. |

Don’t see it at all. Don’t rate him. Dunne is a very good right back in my opinion, easily the best since Simpson and you have to go back to Bardsley before that(ignoring Kyle Walker, obviously). Dunne’s heading ability, at the back and offensively, is hugely important, and he has plenty of skill and strength going forward. We shouldn’t be looking beyond him as a starter imho |
