Paul.. Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Expected to see someone report that Dunkley has a knock and could barely stand and was on the bench out of desperation or something, but nothing? Another genius tactical move? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 When you reflect on that first 45 minutes its got "the manager has lost his sh!t" written all over it. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainless Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 For me it says more about a severe lack of trust in dunkley. Not been this season first time in nearly 30 years I've not had a season ticket. However all reports I've seen are that dunkley has been terrible. Either way Palmer as wide centre half i can see but Johnson seems very strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he's definitely not been terrible, and I'd say for the last couple of matches he's been better than Iorfa and looked a bit more comfortable with Palmer to the left of him. But even if Dunkley is injured and we have no fit CBs, surely Paterson is the next obvious choice? Before Marvin Johnson! And on a sidenote I record all the games so if you want to watch any of them send me a PM (applies to future games of course, not sure anyone wants to choose to sit down and watch any of this season's previous matches!).

Especially when you have Callum Paterson who's big strong, burly, puts himself about, and has played a lot of his career at right back... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Moore let the defenders get on with their job of defending and getting rid instead of trying to imitate Beckenbaur then Dunkley is fine for this level 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shezzas left peg Posted October 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2021 Seems to me DM knows he hasn't the world class ball playing CBs needed to play the style he wants, so he's now shoe Horning fullbacks and midfielders in now to prove it works rather than adapt to a style and system that suits the personnel at his disposal, this is only going to end one way as his stubbornness is costing him and us. 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I think having Dunkley on makes us go 442 For that reason Moore seems to have taken him out to go with another made combination - probably worried about Lincoln etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Paul Might have to take you up on that. I'd agree Patterson is a logical choice which is what seems strange. Dunkley just seems to be in and out so unless there is a fitness issue it feels like trust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the whole situation with the young lad Brennan more annoying. Hasnt done anything wrong when been called upon and looked comfortable. He along with bashiru should be here getting games helping to give them experience and improve. I may be on a minority but I'd love to see us give Adrenian & Bash a run together as a central 2. You fresh legs to get box to box and give us drive in a FORWARD direction instead of the sideways crab tactics we've been using. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeder Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 After a shaky start, Dunkley's looked better the last couple of games.... so Moore drops him. No idea why he's trying to be so clever. Crying out for a settled side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
