IN: Right back cover Big forward Fast forward Creative Midfielder Centre Back with pace OUT: Haustrup Gordon Simper Dunk OUT (on loan): Okedina Rossi
This can only be a late effort to win message board shitpost of the year. No other explanation.

so you've edited out May and replaced him with Dunk. Speechless.

To be fair there is probably a conversation to be had at the end of the season but I'd be amazed if we move him on in January. It'd feel like such an unceremonious departure and I don't think that's us.
It'd be a pretty short conversation in the summer, mind :
"Dunkybabes, here's a 10 year deal, and where would you like your statue?"

Andrew Losing his place to Andrew at the start of the season was harsh, given his form at the end of last season. Love Mark Bonner as I do, that decision wasn’t one I agreed with and whilst Andrew has shown quality in glimpses, he’s been underwhelming at best and never close to the form Dunk was on during the run in. So I’m convinced H is still our best option at left back. To let him go in January would be a travesty. To let him go in the summer would be a travesty. And to let him go before he’s done the appearance record would also be an absolute travesty.

I'm getting a lot of flak from the completionists and the Dunk is a Hunk fan club, but could he please compete for a place in the team? The many people that have non-reacord-breaking appearances* for the club have had to go at some point too.

This can only be a late effort to win message board shitpost of the year. No other explanation. And he knows nothing about football. Send out two cb on loan do we have 3? Crazy. Especially as Jubs had pace and looked good since his return.

If that proves to be the place then that is one less player to find and one less to loan out. I've not been to any away games lately. Although if what you say about my knowledge of football is true that hardly matters.

The last time he had a run in the team (end of last season) he was an absolute star. He was on the bench at the start of the season (harshly, given his run-in form) and since then he's been injured. He proved last season that he's more than capable at this level.

You’d quite rightly bring in RB cover, but you’d get rid of 2 left backs leaving us with no “natural” cover in that position? You’d also bomb out a centre back, who is getting better and more confident with each game, and is not exactly slow, in favour of bringing in someone exactly like the player you’re wanting rid of. Think you’ve been on something a bit stronger than PG tips my friend. 😉

Had Dunk not needed an operation, i’d be astonished if we would of got to this stage of the season having not seen him have a run of games. Andrews hasn’t even come close to putting in a consistent string of performances to suggest otherwise

The injury was from pre-season and was never fully fit as the season started so imagine that’s why

When I think of the great escape there are two players that epitomised that for me.
1) Sam Smith 2) Harrison Dunk
It'd be a valid argument to make that last season he played his best football for us since joining in 2011.

It'd be a crime to move him on.

If Dunk was let go in Jan I would seriously think about returning my season ticket!
