Paul Dummett

He's shown to be decent defensively many times, both at left back and in the centre.

 

Some people will always have the agenda of wanting their left backs to be in the mould of Marcelo, which PD will certainly never be.

 

Erm no, many of us would prefer a fullback who doesn't wilt like a flower with pressure on. He's terrible on the ball and it costs us, regardless of how decent he might be at sticking a timely foot in.

 

He's not a PL-quality fullback.

 

:thup:

We exist in a league where the likes of Craig Dawson and Phil Bardsley are regular starters at full back, Danny Simpson is about to win the league ffs.

 

Dummett's habit of giving the ball away costs us much less than Janmaat constantly losing his man at the far post, or Haidara simply always being out of position.

:thup: There are very few full backs outside the top 6 adept both defensively and going forward. Dummett is an average lower half full back.

 

We need better but he gets some daft stick.

Quick attacking players barely ever get the chance in a game to be able to sprint flat out for a decent period of time. The longest sprint players will do in most games is defenders and midfielders running flat out towards their own goal stopping a counter attack. If Sissoko and Dummett for example had a 100m sprint I'm fairly certain Sissoko would win with a good bit to spare

Good point, but im sick of debating who is more crap. Who costs us more, Janamaat or Dummet.

 

Would love to start debating who is more awesome, and none of them are. They are all shit

"Fastest player "top speed stats are misleading as there are very few circumstances where a player will be running flat out on a football pitch for a length of time enough to hit their top speed.  There will be loads of players that could have easily made that list given the right circumstances in a game.

He could easily have cost us against Liverpool, he was not simply giving the ball away. They got in behind him over 5 times atleast. Darlow pulled off a save from Navas there a week earlier & he was destroyed by a simple dummy in the same game. He's not costing us because others are saving his bacon in some of these games. Other games he looks more assured & tends to get it behind for a corner. Its hardly consistant though.

Quality once again and we're unbeaten since he returned from injury after losing pretty much every game without him.

 

Poor footballer but he makes our defence much better. The vitriol needs to piss off.

Totally agree. Defenders should defend first and Dummett does it very well.

 

That's the problem and why he gets stick, he offers nothing going forward. Right now i'll take the good defender to be honest.
