Just heard that the Croatia game is behind closed doors. That’s a bit shit for Dunky if he makes his debut there.

I just hope he can make an impression and capitalise to leap frog Tarkowski and this is not a one off. With Southgates plans on the age of players realistically Dunk doesn't have much more than 4 years left him in at England level

I guess once they get established though they'll be there for as long as they're good. I assume he's picking young players in order to have a really experienced team when they peak

Was the fixture arranged before it got set as a ‘behind closed doors’ match? Seems strange that we’d have agreed to play there with it being so.

He'll just think he's back at Withdean.

For England supporters it will be Sky TV but I dont care about the Croatia ones.

Rumour has it a few England fans have got foreign media passes for the game ;-)

Not really the point. Playing in an empty stadium will feel like a training game.

Perhaps they could get 50 or so ball boys and ground staff to dress in black hoodies in one corner and let off a flare or two. Then it would be the best atmosphere in the entire world!!!

... watching Lewis training with the England guys https://www.pscp.tv/w/1ypKdYklQqdGW

Genuinely felt a little bit nervous for him, watching the videos of him being like the new kid at school meeting the rest of the squad, not quite dressed right, not sure who to hang out with yet.

Our boy's all grown up! Knew this day would come but still tough. Promised myself I wouldn't cry.

A crummy little 8k stadium as well. Agreed, it will be a pity if this is the empty venue for his first cap. Reminder me of Yeovil.

Hopefully he'll put himself in contention for an appearance in the Spain game.

Did anyone watch the training session? Any idea how our boy got on? Did he look like he was in the first team side?

Have to say, rather disappointed with the lack of media coverage for Dunky's call up. Seems to be all about that Sancho kiddy.
Apart from that Daily Mail piece last week, not seen / read any interviews with him.

Probably rightly so, Sancho is a potential England Superstar, Dunk could potentially be a 1 cap wonder. lets be fair the country arent interested in a 25 year old centre back playing for brighton, an 18 year old with the most assists in europe playing for Dortmand is going to be much better.

This video has been shared quite a bit on Social Media, with many people (unfairly) mocking Dunk....
