Lord Snooty Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Sam just felt something tighten – could be his calf or around the ankle – and he made it through to half time but it was the right thing to do to take him off. We will assess Sam over the next 24 or 48 hours and hopefully it will settle down. We’ll get him scanned and take it from there. I thought Chey came on and did really well, everything you want from a centre half, he was solid and assured. He will have a big part to play for us this season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) I thought Dunkley was ok in a no nonsense kind of way, I’d worry about his distribution though? Actually though both FB’s advanced the ball well tonight and would’ve liked to have seen that outlet favoured over some of the other balls into the feet of midfielders who were under the press. We have too much possession away like that IMO. Edited August 17, 2021 by Morepork 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dutch McLovin Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hope Hutchinson is ok for the weekend. Dunkley worries me, would rather Gibson play than him from the little I’ve seen of him. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Gibson from what we’ve been told is more of a ball player at the back so potentially he could offer a replacement for hutch . Hopefully just precautionary and he’s ok for Saturday though . dunkley certainly good in the air and tackling, just unsure on his passing ability / pace 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Thought Dunkley defended really well. Solid. A couple of passes went astray, but then so did Dom’s. His first real minutes, a good sub to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a decent enough player at this level but playing out from the back isnt his strongest suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkley makes sense against opposition you expect to be good in the air. Otherwise we’d need someone with better feet and composure to play as we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Dunkley was poor imo. Hope we give Gibson some games instead if Hutchinson is out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Concrete Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Have to say Hutch looks such a class act at CB, really hope he stays fit and injury free this season. Regarding Dunkley I think he's a good option to have on the bench, plenty of experience in this league, tonight I thought he looked composed and decent in the air challenging for headers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 We don’t look half as good at the back without Hutch. Really hope it’s not a serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Dunkley’s a right sided centre back but had to play left side tonight, where he isn’t as comfortable on the ball. Hutchinson is a class act and can play either centre back position. Is Gibson left footed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I think we’ll need to moderate our playing out from the back if we have Iorfa and Dunkley as centre halves. Neither are great on the ball in my opinion. Also, I felt we looked really unbalanced with Dunkley and Palmer on the left hand side of our defence. I understand that Hutchinson is right footed but he’s so comfortable on the ball, even when playing left sided centre half, that we don’t miss a natural left footer there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
