xLiaaamx Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 So when's he going on Maternity leave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Do you know I think there might be an element of intelligence in his defending? I've noticed a few times, when his opponent gets the ball he'll sit off him and let him make his decision, and quickly calculate the position that gives him the best opportunity to make a tackle. Then he runs as quick as he can to that spot, and more often than not he makes the tackle look easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I actually think he's been okay on the ball lately. Obviously he still can't run with it at his feet and the same limitations of turning quickly are there, but he's stopped acting like its a bomb all the time and isn't just looking to lose it as quick as possible.

Agree. Maybe he's... IMPROVING UNDER RAFA. Good news on the contract, despite me believing we could do better. He's earned it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 No problem with him getting another contract, he's first choice currently and if we upgrade, he'll probably not rock the boat as second choice. Always good to have local lads on board. Looks fat as fuck there mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ballsy of Rafa to give Dummett a new contract, since he doesn't rate him that highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Aye when your squad is as s**** as ours, players like Dummett tend to be invaluable. That's not to put him down, loads of average players make themselves good careers just by being dependable and having a positive attitude. By good i suppose I mean memorable.

afar Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm not his biggest fan, like many on here, but can't argue with the performances he's put in since he's returned, and more than justifies a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 wish he was more effective going forward, but not been bad at the back since his return Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 If he's still playing for us in 2022 it will be a really bad sign, but he deserves a new deal based on the work he's put in for the club. I don't rate him but I like him, if that makes any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 wish he was more effective going forward, but not been bad at the back since his return His future is definitely as a full back who becomes a 3rd CB when we attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hydeous Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Happy for him. Has actually shown signs of improvement in the attacking half of the pitch this season imo. Hoping for more, as he keeps learning. Would love to see an upgrade or at least some competition in the left back position, to push him and help him get better, but it's not the highest priority at the moment.

sempuki Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Surprised he hasn't had more opportunities for Wales. Glad he's got a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hopefully the wages aren't high enough to prevent us from moving him on in the future, I'd be disappointed if he's still here in 4 years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Surprised he hasn't had more opportunities for Wales. Glad he's got a new contract. Didn't he retire from international football because he realised he doesn't give a shit about Wales? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Surprised he hasn't had more opportunities for Wales. Glad he's got a new contract. Ben Davies is pretty similar to him just a lot better, so he gets the nod all the time. Also, didn't Dummett spit out the dummy and make himself unavailable for selection because of it?

The College Dropout Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Aye he’s very slow on the turn. In one of his early games. He did actually get rinsed by Jesus Navas, so slow on the turn. It doesn’t get exposed as much anymore but that’s a weird weakness. He’s pretty quick once he gets going. He tends not to get too tight. Simpson > Santon. For us. Davide lad cost us goals on a weekly basis through sheer laziness. I don’t think Santon could have played at FB and Leicester win the league imo. Although he’s better suited to a possession based team than Simpson which we’ve not been for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Jesus Navas was canny quick mind. Agree that once he gets going he's rarely beaten for pace and he loves a slide tackle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Jesus Navas was canny quick mind Aye, Navas wasn't great at City overall, but there's no shame in getting beaten by him for pace. That's hardly a fair criticism of Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Santon could have been far better than he ended up turning out to be - be it injuries or tactics or whatever. His constant cut-in was the most predictable thing in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
