fpowl Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Can see Palmer keeping his place and with hutch and iorfa being a bit delicate those to being rotated it’s certainly a good pool of centre back options we could realistically looking at being available by mid feb in the thick of that horrible contested fixture list Brennan, Palmer, Johnson, iorfa, Hutchinson, Batth that should keep the fatigue down surely bring on 10 games in 31 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Would be a great signing, Lofra has not been good since his injury. Palmer has been the most consistent player and would keep his place as well as Hutch. We then have Dunkley, Johnson and Brennan as cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Dunkley is a write off for me am afraid, on form he’s a top defender at this level I don’t doubt him whatsoever But we cannot build a side around him with his fitness issues, harsh but true , Dom Iorfa is a championship player and one I don’t expect to be here next season if we don’t go back up but again in all honesty we can’t build around him if he can’t prove his fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper your spot on though. Iorfa struggled in most games, he just wasn't the same player he used to be, odd glimpse of his quality but not much more. I said so at the time and got ridiculed. It maybe he was never properly fit or he was carrying an injury. Whatever, it doesn't matter, we all want him back at his very best because he was superb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Some big decisions to be made in the summer? Hutch for me should never play anywhere else than cb looks assured less reckless and should make him less prone to injury rather than charging around in front of back 4? I’d give him another yr if he stays fit playing there? Dunkley for me is steady at this level. Above his level in championship and unfortunately his injury record getting worse than hutch! Iorfa if fit is a beast but now we getting to the point where if someone comes in with decent money do you stick or twist? Personally think I’d sell cus once players start with hamstring they always seem to go again ? Batth for me would be a couple for this level and still a steady performer at the level above. But hats off to Liam palmer who has been very consistent in a position that is not really his! Let’s hope the deal for danny boy gets done cus I really think it would make a big difference to have a commanding figure for us that is able to head the ball away consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I wouldn't write Dinkley or Iorfa off yet, or Hutch for that matter. We've been short of CB's all season so they have probably played too many minutes too quickly and too often and broken down, If we bring in reinforcements they can all have games out to stop them getting over worked. It might just give them a chance to get to full fitness over an extended period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchinson, to be honest , I don’t even put him in same category as Chey and Dom in terms of questioning wether we build anything around them or there long term worth to the club, I’d not renew Dunkleys contract and I’d probably let Iorfa leave if he does get back fit and attracts any reasonable offer Hes gonna have his injury issues Hutch, we know all about it , it has to be managed like you say , because for me he is part of fixtures and fittings and so important to our club Should be skipper as well, people will have their opinions etc , but that’s my honest feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvin Parsnip Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If we sign Batth we don’t need to rush Dom back and risk another injury. It would also stop any bids coming in for him. Imagine he starts has a blinder and some one comes on and offers just enough to get him. Saying that knowing DC it would have to be a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same mate. When Dunkley was getting stick earlier in the season, I thought that Iorfa was just bad, if not worse in some games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what previous injuries you're referring to. The year before he signed for us he was on loan at Ipswich where he was in the first 11 or on the bench 34/46 league games. The two seasons prior to that at Wolves he was involved 30/46 and 45/46 times. At least 4 of those missing games was suspensions. Even if all the other gaps are injuries, that's hardly a major red flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we can match their bid and hope that the good memories of Wednesday are enough to bring him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
