The College Dropout Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 No doubt he's a better CB than LB, but he's been out for 5 months. Give him some time to come back. Atm he's our best LB. Aye, think some are being harsh on the lad. Long time out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 He was gash today and always seemed to be somewhere he shouldn't have been and some of that will be down to a lack of fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Did OK-ish, I definitely prefer Haidara. I thought Dummet was pretty poor today, normally he's good at the defensive side, but today he kept ending up in the middle and leaving huge gaps in behind on the flanks. We looked much better when Haidara came on. Totally agree with this. Don't think Dummett did too badly. Put in a couple of decent crosses too. Wasn't he game pretty much done for when Haidara came on, anyway. The first thing Haidara did when he came on was side foot the ball with his left foot straight into touch. The guy can barely pass a ball now. Used to be a big fan of Haidara but he's been a waste of everyone's time this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Lack of cover for both full backs from midfield was a big problem for us and I thought Dummett just lacked a bit of fitness having missed all of pre season and not played yet this season.

TRC Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yep, people are jumping on Dummet a bit too quickly here. Let him get his fitness levels and match practice back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yep, people are jumping on Dummet a bit too quickly here. Let him get his fitness levels and match practice back. It's because it's Paul Dummett. NO bad guy. A lot won't engage their brains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Despite Mbabu showing promise, and the likes of Dummett and Haidara currently at LB, I'd much rather see us sign a first choice guy with Mbabu and Haidara competing as backups and transitioning Dummett into a CB.

M4 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The above goes without saying but for now I would rank 1.Mbabu, 2.Dummett, 3.Haidara Because of the poor overall levels on display, Mbabu would be first choice by default. With the position being his to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 How stupid would it be considering Dummett for a cb position alongside Mbemba at some point this season? I liked the look of him as a cb when we went on our little run last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Haidara is my pick, maybe Mbabu if his performance proves not to be a one-off. Overall it makes very little difference to how many points we'll get. It's the midfield that desperately needs to be sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 keep calm... and Colback on... http://www.themag.co.uk/assets/jack-colback-halt-newcastle-united-nufc-650x400.jpg He got this if we need another LB. I think Dummets more suited to cb than lb tbh. He doesn't have good enough technique to play left back How stupid would it be considering Dummett for a cb position alongside Mbemba at some point this season?

George Bailey Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Despite Mbabu showing promise, and the likes of Dummett and Haidara currently at LB, I'd much rather see us sign a first choice guy with Mbabu and Haidara competing as backups and transitioning Dummett into a CB. Get this e mailed to the club. Christ on a bike if we can all fucking see it.... Add buying a big and commanding centre half in jan and the biggest deficiencies in the squad/team are on there way to being sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocker Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Does he hunch forward? I've noticed his posture is similar to mine and I've got a slight curve in my spine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'd love for our CB grouping be 1. new commanding CB 2. Mbemba 3. Competition for 1 and 2 role 4. Dummett etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Wasn't great on Sunday but he should be playing CB with Mbemba tbh. Janmaat - Mbemba - Dummett - Mbabu is what I'd be thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 He's nothing special when fully fit either. Neither are the vast majority of our players.

STM Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I like Dummett, he's fairly reliable at both centre back and left back. He struggles with pace but Haidara has pace and he struggles positionally. None of our left backs are good enough though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thought he was particularly shite today. Got skinned a few times and with this system we're playing where Wijnaldum moves inside it effectively means we can't attack down the left hand side making us fairly easy to combat for the defensive side.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Haidara is definitely better, I don't have any doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
