[Albion] Should Dunk start against Crystal Palace if he is fit?

[Guinness Boy]

If Lewis is 100% match fit then he should 100% start against Palace.

If there's even a slight doubt then it's bench at best.

 

[Napper]

100% yes

Our best defender and hates Palace

 

[Live by the sea]

If fit yes . Fortunately their main man is busy at AFCOM .

 

[Lenny Rider]

Surely GP will pick his best 11 available, based on fitness and ability?

If Dunk covers both criteria then yes.

 

[Hugo Rune]

No, but……..

You have to define ‘fit’ a little more precisely.

Webster always looks a bit shit when he comes straight back from injury, I suspect Dunk would be the same. I’m very uncomfortable with us throwing him into the Palace match (in particular) having not played a single minute of competitive football for so many weeks. With Burn and Veltman in such good form, we don’t need to rush our captain back. What’s wrong with the team that played so well against Chelsea or Everton?

The bench and maybe a subs appearance for me.

 

[Biscuit]

Personally I would start our best defender, yes.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

100% fit, then yes.

I very much doubt he is 100% fit though, so nope.

If 80-90% fit then he has to be at least on the bench, just to have him pitch side, getting the players wound up is essential.

 

[TottonSeagull]

If 100% fit and ready to play.....absolutely! He is our best defender and plays when fit!

 

[Swansman]

If fit yes . Fortunately their main man is busy at AFCOM .

Conor Gallagher is African?

 

[arewethereyet?]

No,

Because he won’t be 100% match fit and the Nigel’s may well target him for a lengthier lay off.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

1st name on the teamsheet always.

 

[dazzer6666]

Can't see him starting a game straight away after a several-week layoff - it's just not the way we do things with injured players. Burn has also been fantastic in the centre the last couple of games in particular so no real concerns.....also it's not necessarily down to Dunk (more the midfield movement and formation I think) but we've looked more dynamic going forward from defence whilst he's been out. Great problem for Potter to have when he's ready.

If Veltman does this again, on Friday - straight to the top of the Legend pile!

Shame about the cross at the end though...

 

[banjo]

BDB deserves to keep his place imho.

 

[albion534]

Personally. No. I think we’ve been playing well without him and unless he is 100% fit. I wouldn’t risk it at all.

Ha, top shithousery! As you say, shame about the cross

 

[Hendrax]

Is there a chance he might be fit then?

I asked him last Friday and without actually saying yes, he smirked and said 'should be good'

 

[saafend_seagull]

We havent missed him and not 100% fit. Bench.

BDB has been our best player since Christmas.
It would be harsh to drop him.
Can't see Dunk being match fit, and don't want to risk him in such a game.
Bench as best for the captain
