Utah Owl Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Looking very promising after the last few games and boy do we need an inspirational leader like him. Sincerely hope it's the case. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, we are two divisions below where Mick played for us, but I can see the similarities between how Chey is playing currently, and Mick. That’s some compliment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 No one that ever saw Lyon’s play could possibly compare Dunks to him. Lyons was in a class of his own as a leader and only Pearson came anywhere close in my lifetime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basement Jack Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Lyons was far less animated than Dunkley. In fact anyone who has heard Lyons knows he is actually very softly spoken No fuss just cracked on with the job in hand He led without saying a word I find calling players “ warriors” a bit cringeworthy but if ever that term fitted a player it was Lyons Dunkley? He’s doing great and he is definitely leading by example. Let’s hope he keeps it up 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young to remember much of Don Megson but in all my time following Wednesday no one (not even Pearson) has shown the leadership qualities that Mick Lyons did. Right now we need someone just like him (maybe not in terms of ability, but general attitude and leadership). Based on the last few games could Dunks be that man?

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I’d settle for Dunks being the next Liera or Loovens. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I loved Mike Lyons. He was over 30 when he joined us and had all the experience in the world from over a decade at Everton. It’s not really a fair comparison between him and Dunkley. Very different personalities I would say. But I do think there’s something about Dunkley for sure. He came here on crutches, looked bang average even earlier this season. Now he’s a one man army. Dead happy for him and us. But he isn’t anything like a new Mike Lyons.

matthefish2002 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Dunkley has shown good form last few games but to compare him with Mick Lyons! Nearly spat my tea out! Like comparing Boris Johnson with Winston Churchill. Edited November 25, 2021 by matthefish2002 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderowlsterdam Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Dunkley, on current form keeps Iorfa out of the squad, if/when he returns. Dunkley is a leader, and when given that role has been more commanding this season than Iorfa. When he partners him, Iorfa is the main man and Dunkley looks a shadow of the player he is now. It's like you take that responsibility away from him, you stifle him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I can see where you are coming from Leon, Dunkley is showing similar leadership qualities to Mick Lyons, putting his head in where it hurts, organising and geeing the team up. Long my it continue, but one swallow doesn't necessarily make a happy marriage....or summat. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Nickelarse Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Lyons was a very important player for us in the old second division. If Dunkley maintains his current standards he'll be equally important in the third tier that we're currently in and hopefully the next level too. Safe to say that I like what I see in Dunkley however best time for comparisons will be in a couple of years time really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I think you're right OP. He's as good as Mick Lyons now. Mind you, Mick Lyons is 70 on his next birthday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
