Dunne or Long on Saturday?

Assuming Tarky is fit who partners him this weekend?

Dunne for me.

If Tarky comes back in than I would prefer Dunne to play, as he is comfortable on the left.
Which allows Tarky to play on his preferred right.

Prefer Dawson to either - still time

Long.

And I'm pretty sure Dyche will agree.

Long, but I have a feeling both will start.

Tarky must have a hell of a sore toe!

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 6:43 pm

Prized asset probably being protected until the dust settles.

Most likely to be Long AND Dunne imo.

gtclaret · Post by **gtclaret** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 6:44 pm

I have a fear that Tarky will not play again until after the Transfer window is shut. Who for is the big question

SD will appreciate the way KL has slotted in since Ben got injured. Almost guarrantee he will partner JT(assuming he has recovered)

I’m actually not worried at all with either or both. We have a system that protects each other, so whoever it is I’m OK with it.

If he's got gout in his toe then he'll be more than sore, believe me.

Long, then stick Dunne up front if we need something with 10 mins to go - wins so much in the air, be like having Crouch again !!

Both will start Tarks is eyeing pastures new.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:02 pm

Dunne hopefully one for the future! But it’s definitely Kevin long for me, solid and dependable. I think many are getting carried away with Jimmys performances. But like I say I think he’s got a future with us

Sozturf7 · Post by **Sozturf7** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:11 pm

It will be Long.

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:14 pm

I can’t believe people are assuming Tarky will be over his amputated leg.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:46 pm

Both Dunne & Long will play, and we should get behind them, when Ben returns (which should be soon) then it will likely be Long & Mee (unless Tarks stays) but I'm losing hope that he will, or Dawson & Mee, either way we've got options.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:58 pm

It will be both. Don’t fancy us as a result. Ings will be chomping at the bit with that back line.

Will get behind them both, of course, but still find it appalling management that we’ve not strengthened given Gibson departing and likelihood Tarky would also be off. If we lose 6 points early in the season Garlic has to take some blame for lack of preparedness.

Fair points NC, we need to sort the Tarks situation one way or the other, if he's going then let him go, and source his replacement whoever that maybe.

No disrespect to Dunne & Long, but even the most optimistic supporter wouldn't be comfortable with that pair playing the majority of our PL games.

We've shipped Gibson out quite rightly in my view, and Tarks is apparently in demand, so if we're not careful we could find ourselves needing 2 centre-backs come deadline day.

BenWickes · Post by **BenWickes** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 7:03 am

Hoping Tarks is back. Rather have Long alongside Tarks simply because of his experience. Bit worrying if it's Dunne and Long against Ings with his movement on or off the ball.

I don’t think most are mate, a sore toe doesn’t last a few weeks, a broken toe is only 3-4 weeks

Long for now, but from what I've seen of Dunne he has the potential to be the better player.

So will some of the "adults" that play fantasy football, no honestly there's adults that play it.

You can hear cheers all over the pub when its Newcastle v C Palace on the lunch time game, due to goals, captains, mega goal super sub or whatever at fantasy football, its all very odd to me.

Hi Tiger,

Thing that narks me is that we potentially play 2 games with 2x inexperienced CB’s, yet have known at least Gibson would not be with us for 9 months. I just hope I am wrong and Tarks starts tomorrow.

If we end up keeping JT and with Dawson as back up I will think we have strengthened & be very pleased in the long run, but very frustrating that we take so long over it!

Personally don’t mind Long and Dunne as cover - always liked Long for his attitude and have have been impressed with Dunne. I’d like to see them keep getting cup games, but we can’t expect them to play a significant part of the season together.

buzzclarets79 · Post by **buzzclarets79** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:22 pm

Dunne for me all day LONG

Dunne needs games now at a higher level if he's going to progress, that needs to be with us or Championship level. Yes ok he might make mistakes but think he could be a decent Prem CB. What he really needs is Mee next to him.

Danieljwaterhouse · Post by **Danieljwaterhouse** » Sat Sep 26, 2020 8:09 am

If you want a good rumour:

Tarks was left out of the England squad to help push him away from Dyches grip. One of the top six managers wanted that as a favour from Southgate.

No England place finally made him push for a new club.

So players now not being capped based on their form and their stats, but because of how their manager sets up a game. If that is the case, we should add +10 million after hes got 20 caps with his new top 6 club.

Brentford fans very critical of Tarks on Twitter...not at all suprised he has "allegedly" downed tools
