Dr.Spaceman Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Okay, sure we'll get by with Fernandez, Clark, Schar, Lejeune and Dummett like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Lejeune should be back anytime now. It also might prevent fatty from cashing in on Schar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Okay, sure we'll get by with Fernandez, Clark, Schar, Lejeune and Dummett like. Yeah but two of them aren't quite match fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It's always weird because we will miss his pace and strength in the back line but Clark/Fede/Schar/Lejeune should have us fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 He's reasonably fast even though he turns rather slowly or maybe doesn't have great acceleration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It's a great point actually. As good as the defensive unit is, we are susceptible to a pacy attack. The player we need in the middle in that scenario is Dummett. Trust me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 If we’re playing Dummett in the centre of a three we’re in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It'll be Schar in the middle i reckon, remember cabbage head saying Schar looked good there for Switzerland a couple of months back. Just putting 2 and 2 together to get potato. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Also the fact Wilson knew exactly what he was doing to cause this and got away with it is so infuriating. The little rat did it on purpose looking to cause harm. Was never getting the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 One area of the pitch we have loads of cover for tbh, yes does make us a bit more susceptible to pace though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 One area of the pitch we have loads of cover for tbh, yes does make us a bit more susceptible to pace though Dummett is deceptively fast, one of the fastest at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 One area of the pitch we have loads of cover for tbh, yes does make us a bit more susceptible to pace though Should just play Almiron or Allan there, they would probably get 15 goals from centreback I would imagine.

Odear Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 While not wanting to see any player injured this could be a bit of luck for Steve Bruce. He was never going to drop Lascelles being the club captain but Lejeune is just a far superior player and far better distribution from the back. The front three will benefit hugely from this. He needs to displace Clark first though, he’s done well that lad when called upon, in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 If Lejeune is back then Clark is a good option in the middle in the interim. Ideally working towards a Lejeune-Fernandez-Schar back three - and with Willems and Yedlin in form, that looks decent (objectively) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I think he’ll be a bigger miss than some realise, for all his flaws on the ball, he will leave a big gap back there in the air, at set pieces, at leading and with his pace and recovery getting back. He’s their best defender in terms of just defending easily. No-one else fills me with as much confidence in terms of strictly defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 While he has no particular stand out abilities, he doesn't have any glaring weaknesses either. he is a very decent defender, the leadership in the backline will be missed. Can't see Schar or Lejeune screaming at Dummett for being his usual 20 yards out of place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 we'll miss his leadership and presence if nothing else imo, not sure we have anyone else in the squad close to him in that respect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
