Optimistic Nut Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The only attribute I've seen in Dummett is that he can block a cross now and again. The bare minimum a League One left-back should be able to do. He can't cross, he can't dribble, he's not particularly quick, he's not a great tackler, he slows down our attacks...there was one moment against City where we had the ball midway inside their half, he played a one-two with Cabella...and all of a sudden he'd turned back and played a long ball back into our half to either Coloccini or Krul. He's an awful player at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dummett is nowhere near as bad as he's made out to be - likewise - Haidara isn't as good as he's made out to be. Despite plenty of hyperbole in all regards, neither of them are close to being as good a player as Santon IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite plenty of hyperbole in all regards, neither of them are close to being as good a player as Santon IMO. Agreed, Santon is the much better player and gets some unnecessary stick on here I think. He's a big miss when he's not playing. Personally don't like Dummett at all either, would prefer to see Haidara given a go to see what he can do. We've seen what Dummett can do now and it isn't much.

Ronaldo Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dummett's going to have to step up. He is capable of being a solid defender at least. Don't disagree with much you say but I don't see this. I'd sooner Colback left-back and play Anita, Sissoko & De Jong as a three. Dummett's going to have to step up. He is capable of being a solid defender at least. No he isn't. I don't want him in the team, but he's demonstrated he can be adequate at defending.

Yorkie Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dummett is nowhere near as bad as he's made out to be - likewise - Haidara isn't as good as he's made out to be. Despite plenty of hyperbole in all regards, neither of them are close to being as good a player as Santon IMO. I know I've gone on about it but I'm mystified as to what Santon's actually good at. I don't doubt that there's probably a touch of the being Pardewed, because everyone has been, but as a basic full-back I still don't see what attributes he has in the first place. He can dribble occasionally but it's predictable whenever he tries it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dummett is no better than Danny Simpson was and he was was a huge weak link. Blocking and clattering people is no good at this level if that's all you bring. Seen nowt in the lad and although harsh it may be, he typifies the mindset of a pardew team.

Kanji Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I can't stand when footballers don't have the confidence (either it's their lack of ability or their manager's lack of coaching or trust) to play the ball forward. Time and time again Dummett will turn and just pass it backwards to Colo or Krul and any forward progress or retention is lost, b/c when it goes to Krul it's punted long and we lose it.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Danny Simpson was a far better right-back than Dummett is at left-back at the same age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I don't really think that Dummett's played enough to say that either way with any great deal of confidence. We all deeply hated Danny Simpson like, poor lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Dummett seemed to have built a reputation on 45 minutes down at City where he cut out 4 Navas crosses or something daft. Was built up from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
