Disco Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Even if you fused them together to make a 'superplayer' he'd still be fairly shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Haidara's mistakes cost us goals. Dummett is safety first, which might increase pressure but doesn't directly lead to goals. Don't see Haidara getting back in the team anyway. Think Dummett's relatively strong aerial ability compared to the rest of our team in defensive set-pieces is a massive reason he's in the team. Gets his head on the end of a lot of defensive corners. Even if you fused them together to make a 'superplayer' he'd still be fairly s***. If PD could run he'd be a very handy CB. But at LB I agree. Neither are good enough technically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are good enough technically. Fair summation. I suppose the best way is to rotate them depending on the match situation. Neither one is clearly a cut above the other. Mbabu has played better than both by some distance, but he's so young and inexperienced, we haven't seen how bad he could be when he's not on it.

buzza Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'd normally say Dummet was an upgrade on haidara but he was awful on saturday. Everything he did was nullified or opened us up to attacks. I would get Mbabu in for the next one, we will need some pace, also worried about colo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think we'd all agree we need to sign a left back but that probably won't happen until we shift either Dummett or Haidara out and that probably won't happen until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think someone like him who isn't a natural athlete, a pre-season is vital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Think Dummett is in the Colback category of being undroppable for McClaren, get used to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Not sure about that. He's been taken off in a couple of games since he came into the side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 We looked best with Mbabu at LB anyway. Id rather him there until we sign a long term left back. I'd also like to see Mbabu be our backup RB for he future. He actually looks a real talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Not sure about that. He's been taken off in a couple of games since he came into the side Maybe phrased badly, I think he'll start whenever he's fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are good enough technically. Dummett could easily have cost us goals as well this season, many times he's been bailed out by Colo or weak finishing like on Saturday. Last season Dummett at least looked fairly solid defensively, this season his defending has been rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's a good point to mention PD has basically been chucked in the first team as soon as he's come back from an injury, with a limited pre-season as well. At his best he will be solid defensively while giving us nothing going the other way. I prefer that to Haidara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay but Haidara has cost us actual goals.... he makes those kind of mistakes, no coming back mistakes. Dummett's been poor since coming back from injury but he's better than Haidara.

Guest Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Not keen on that argument. Might as well say Eliott is better than Krul as he's not made many errors in his 4 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 He can't defend. He can't attack. He can't pass. He can't control. He can't run. How the fuck did he get a professional contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 it was either the end of the first half or the beginning of the 2nd when I finally realised he was playing today. He stayed in a position more like LM, except of course when the ball was in that area and then he went missing into the middle of midfield. He was an absolute ghost today.
