thomas Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 He isn't - and likely won't ever be - great but he did a good job yesterday. Still stares at the ball like it's talking to him before he kicks it though. Sent from My Butt using My Butt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Real defender. Cares about the club. Makes us so much stronger as someone said, is basically a third CB when defending from the right. Wins headers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 He is what he is, solid-ish defender but not really a fullback in the normal PL sense of the word. At the moment I'm incredibly happy he's back though, he's infinitely better than the alternatives. If he hadn't got injured we probably would have another 6 points or so.

At the moment I'm incredibly happy he's back though, he's infinitely better than the alternatives. If he hadn't got injured we probably would have another 6 points or so. Just checked: 21 points from 18 games Dummett started, 1.17ppg 7 points from 15 he missed, 0.47ppg Suggests we would be in a much better position had he stayed fit.

John P Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Good to have him back, makes such a difference having a full back who can actually defend. Like others have said, he's not going to beat a man and whip in a brilliant cross, but he's exactly what we need at full back at the minute - solid and going to give his all.

Marmoset Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Makes such a difference having a proper defender there - this is the first time Rafa has been able to play an actual left back, he'll be hoping that hamstring holds up... He was still s***, was completely skinned at one point, fortunate not to lead to a goal. Whatever division we play in next year an upgrade for LB is sorely needed. Don't think he was s*** at all tbh - Colback at LB against the mackems was s***, Anita playing there at Southampton was s*** and who can forget Aarons against Chelsea - Dummett is just solid but unspectacular. Solid is stretching it a bit, the guy is just plain average, he's the Mike Williamson of left backs, serviceable on occasion but will never take you anywhere, we let a far better player go, with a much higher ceiling just over a year ago for practically nothing. I agree though he is a lot better than the non left backs that he's had to put back there recently. Santon a FAR better player? Haven't watched him since he left but based on his performances for us that's a bit of a stretch. Think you might be letting Santon's perceived pedigree affect your judgement on that.

xLiaaamx Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 He can actually cross. It just has to be first time as he can't move with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 He can actually cross. It just has to be first time as he can't move with the ball. Aye, he can hit a ball but he can't really control it or move it around very comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much to do with how awful the alternatives are of course, but demonstrates Dummett's importance for right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I still think Haidara is better, but we need Dummett desperately at the moment. Im yet to see what Haidara offers, apart from a lengthy injury record. Even from an attacking point of view, he appears limited and he's far weaker defensively than Dummett.
