People keep saying Dummett is a central defender but how many games has he ever played there? Hasn't he always been a leftback? I think it's just that he's that bad at leftback people are hoping he can be a centreback. He's done OKish on the few occassions he's played there but nothing to convince me he'd be any sort of answer there.

 

Ricky is a much better player but he doesn't look in great condition at the minute. But I'd take him back at this stage. I don't understand why anyone blamed him for wanting to be away when he left either.

I think he's ok as 4th choice CB. That's about it. If he's going to play a lot either there or LB his shortcomings are going to be exposed.

Aye I don't have a problem with him being cover. He's just nowhere near the level to be a first choice in either position.

I think he come through the youth system as a CB it's just we have no left backs so he gets shoved there.

You might be right, but I first heard of him going to St Mirren on loan as a leftback. If it's true that he's really a centreback then it makes the clubs lack of getting in a replcement leftback even more ridiculous.

I've had a quick look to see what I could find out and it appears he played all his games for St Mirren at fullback. Can see anything about where he played in the juniors/reserves but it appears that as a pro he's always been just a shite leftback.

he's never been a left back, that's clear enough. i think i've seen him to an alright job in a random game once at centre back. he was nowt special but his lack of technical ability wasn't as exposed as it is at left back.

I just feel we've never had any interest in signing a leftback until all of the recent injuries. So we're now desperately trying to find someone short term. Makes me think we still don't realise a leftback is actually needed regardless of who is fit.

Depressing that the transfer committee seem happy with Dummet as our first choice left back

Yeah that's why we had a deal agreed for one until Valencia stepped in

left back is our weakest position. Our strikers aren't scoring enough goals to keep us up so at least they've acted there, even if it is a player with no premier league experience. Shelvey looks a good signing because now we have a central midfielder who can pass forwards. Remains to be seen about Townsend but I'm more optimistic than most thy he'll do a job.

 

But man for man, Dummet looks the least like a top flight player. Mitrovich can't score but at least his all round game looks the part. Not faulting Dummet's attitude but he's not good enough to spend an entire season as first choice left back. Mike Williamson level idiocy from the transfer committee if it happens.
