vulva Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's only fair they let Fletcher and FF out of their pocket now. Championship winning sides are built from the back. The money we spent and are spending on the likes of Buckley, Abdi, Jones, Kean etc etc should have gone on a centre half. Carlos has done a great job, and is a great guy, but he won't get us promoted. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike312 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Dunk is a really good player. A league above what we have imo. Loovens and Lees are awful with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I thought Duffy was fantastic today . The sort of defender we should have gone for in the summer before he went to Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 how many corners did we have 8/9 and they won every ball - absolute beasts, and make our two look light midleweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolsterstone Owl Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Sorry but these two made Lees and Loovens look like Barry and Paul Chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daavies; Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 They won absolutely everything and looked a class above any defender we've got. I'm sorry but I've been far from impressed of Tom Lees so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Shane Duffy Is one of best Championship Centre Back's also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Lees and Loovens aren't too good at distribution and the amount of times we play across the back. Heart in mouth moments at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birstall Owl Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I was impressed by all the back four, there's a reason why they have only conceded 7 goals so far thought Duffy was excellent. They are a better team than last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunk is one of the best defenders in the division. Would make a huge difference for us. But Houghton has always been an excellent organiser too, a bit defense minded but his teams never concede many goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Play it up in the air then only one winner, on the floor then they have a few more problems. So why play more high balls today than any other match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl 44 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 How tall is Duffy? He was an absolute beast at the back. I think Fletcher gave up trying to win headers after about 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluey9 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 As good as Forestieri is, he couldn't hit a barn door at the moment, I was gutted to see our best finisher on the bench, buff said ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The 2 CBs were excellent. Duffy had a nightmare start to the season but Brighton are getting the best out of him. Dunk was solid also, would've been a solid signing for us but we were never going to pay over the odds for him - add to the fact they wouldn't sell to a rival.

Mountain Owl Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Credit where its due. Both well drilled and solid they were impressive the whole game. Made fletcher look 4 foot tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Let's not forget that pretty much no one on here rated Duffy a few weeks back. He was absolute garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Not being funny but we played directly into the strengths of both of them by playing the ball in the air too much - even to Forestieri for gods sake! We needed to be smarter, looking to play the ball more down the sides of them or in and around their feet, especially Duffy as he's been known to be suspect there. Man for man Brighton were better than us today, and this should have been addressed at half-time if not before by changing the shape or introducing Nuhiu up front if we were to continue playing the way we were.
