Iorfa / Dunkley

[shezzas left peg]

I'd be tempted if we must insist on playing out from the back to try hutch & Gibson as CBs, drop dunk and move iorfa out to rb for a few games, use that power and pace in the wide areas and have two guys who can pass the ball at cb.

It just highlights why we need Hutchinson at CB. 

 

You can take Iorfa not being that comfortable on the ball when you have Hutchinson next to him who is (for a CB), but Dunkley really isn't and that makes it 2 CBs who arent natural ball players trying to do it. 
At least when one of the CBs is natural on the ball you massively negate the Iorfa on the ball problem.

According to their stats, Iorfa, Dunkley and Hutch are our best players. 

 

We still have the second best defence in the league, even with the mistakes.

 

Dunkley played a blinder against Oxford, given the liability that Johnson was.

 

Heatmap for Dunkley and Oxford team:

He was constantly filling the gap for Johnson. Here's where Johnson lost the ball:

Dunkley in particular looked very pi55ed off from the start yesterday. You could see him and BPF having some very heated conversations. 

Dunkley had a proper go at him after their first goal. 

Bit rich that…given that Dunkley let the attacker get the shot away without getting near him…defending is a collective effort not down to one player all the time. If you play at the back you should be prepared to tidy up the mess that others sometimes cause.

I hate to say this but if the partnership of Dom and Dunkley are the best in this division then with the display we have seen lately then god help the others. My grandson could pass a ball better, utter shambolic !!!  

They don’t need to be able to

pass a ball.

 

Just hit the channels and get up the pitch.

 

Absolutely ridiculous asking those two to take the ball in their own area and pass to a midfielder with a player up his backside.

 

Moore thinks we are Man City.

 

Football is a very simple game made complicated by idiots.

I hate this playing out from the back by any team. Even top sides constantly fk it up and end up frantically launching it most of the time. 

If only we could have signed the whole Italian Euro team, masters in playing from the back, we should adopt instead the Howard Wilkinson way lump it up and run like hell, but alas we don't have players who can run for 90 minutes, in other words we're f****d

Yet another embarrassing stat. Something is drastically wrong.
