Paul Dummett

He's been the most consistent performer in our back five (inc. Krul) for two seasons now. He absolutely deserves it IMO.

 

Yep. Generally gets more undeserved stick than the rest of them combined, though.

Set to sign a new contract and get the number 3 according .com

Maybe reading too much into it but does giving him number 3 suggest they see him as a left back? Would hope he was being seen as a centre half first and foremost

He's actually miles behind Haidara in terms of his presence going forward and overlapping instincts, which when Haidara isn't steamrolled or kicked into the leg - does a brilliant job of getting up and down the pitch.

Dunno like. When Carvdew brought him on LW against Palace, that was pretty rad.

That substitution man :lol: Not as bad as Pards infamous subs against Wigan (it was, wasn't it?) in the other near relegation season mind.

Assuming giving him the #3 means we're expecting for him to be a first choice player in a NUFC team. I find that very difficult to get excited about.

 

He's fine, and probably better than everyone but Janmaat, but most of our defence is utter shit. If we had any sense we'd be buying pretty much a whole new backline and Dummett would be a decent bench option, nowt more.

 

Sad times.

He's more suited to CB but he's still easily the best LB we have from a defensive perspective.

 

:thup: Obviously doesn't offer as much coming forward as Haidara but is much more solid and disciplined defensively, very rarely see him beaten 1 on 1.

That's because he gives himself a yard all the time, if it's a wideman who isn't interested in taking him on it more or less totally negates him because he's not tight enough. Something he needs to improve on.

Yeah, he's good but it just seems a bit hasty. Why not see how the pre-season plays out, as he might not beat out Haidara for the starting spot. Looks like it's being handed to him right off the bat.

IMO he's probably first choice for two positions in the side. Even with reinforcements at CB at worst he would be 3rd choice CB and 2nd choice LB.
