CourteenerOwl Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 When Dunkley is playing like this you forget about Iorfa. That is the biggest praise you can give Dunkley. When was the last time a player completely turned around his SWFC career? Lewis Buxton probably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him fit and give him a bit of confidence and he’s proven to be a superb player this last 6/7 games. 100%. Was a good player at Wigan and now emphatically proving that he still is. Real leader too. So important to us. Please stay fit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dom is the weak link in our defence, he pulls players out of position with his positional sense, bails himself out or leaves the other looking silly. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 He would not look out of place in a championship squad aiming for the playoffs. That may not be terribly good news in a few weeks time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Holmowl said: He was freakily good tonight. What was he on in that first half? He has come from nowhere to become leader, warrior, beast of a player. And his desire to get on the ball, and his confidence and authority once he’s got it is rediculous . He always had it. He had a horrible leg break and it takes time to get back to the level you’re capable of. Championship defender playing in League One. Old Brucey was a big fan and tried to sign him for Villa before the leg break. Was fantastic tonight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa is a good pkayer no doubt but IMO Dunkley is the genuine commanding CB that we've needed for a good while. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Iorfa is fit Dunks should be the right sided CB in a four or central in a three. He is our best CB by a margin and should be played in his best position. Iorfa is probably better at RB than central IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 There’ll be a huge selection issue for DM after Xmas if he gets Iorfa , Dunkley and Sam all fit at same time You would probably think Hutchinson would miss out, but that’s a big call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not as good a CB as Dunkley though despite his eye catching speed and strength. Shuffling Dunkley out of position to accommodate Iorfa as has happened in the past would be a mistake IMO.

SiJ Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Neither Dunkley or Iorfa are going to win awards for their ability to play the ball out from the back. Physically, Iorfa is an absolute beast and those physical attributes mean he has often been able to get himself out of sticky situations. That is a good thing, as he is prone to lapses in judgement. Dunkley is a unit himself, but I think he's a better defender than Iorfa in the traditional no nonsense way. He's also a leader and a real character. As things stand, Dunkley is one of the first names on the team sheet and rightfully so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamwestsleftear Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 absolutely love the guy .. a one man ball heading machine .. ,Shakespeare's tall sister .. I forgot all about those other centre backs ..just want big dunks flanked by his little minions palmers and Brennan..who are prepared to do his evil bidding ..which is usually scurrying up the line 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first 5 games he was voted one of our better players in each. Unfortunately he finished with a couple of stinkers against Birmingham and Derby, and being recalled for the shítshow at Derby will always be the strongest memory. These are his Owlstalk Ratings from the 2020-21 season with the team average in brackets: Chey Dunkley - 2021 Season, 10 starts, 2 sub appearances vs Barnsley (h) = 5.83 (5.26) vs Forest (a) = 5.83 (4.58) - was voted MoM vs Coventry (h) = 7.40 (6.82) vs Blackburn (a) = 7.00 (6.43) vs Middlesbrough (h) = 8.11 (7.18) vs Bournemouth (a) = 6.67 (6.95) - on as sub in 79th minute vs Millwall (a) = 5.05 (5.58) vs Wycombe (h) = 7.00 (7.25) vs Stoke (a) = 6.44 (5.81) vs Birmingham (h) = 4.56 (5.11) vs Luton (a) = No rating - on as sub in 83rd minute vs Derby (a) = 5.00 (5.89) - assist & penalty conceded 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
