Duffy

Bring back White

Makes an interesting read this thread after we all got to see Duffy play again.....

People still reckon Duffy is miles better than Webster in the words of DarrenFreemansPerm?

:lol:

double post

I feel reassured having Duffy there when we're defending a set piece. Other than that, I'll have Webster all day.

Unfair on Duffy? Seems rushed back from injury to me and hasn't played much under Potter and the "new" way of playing imposed.

I was calling for Duffy but I don't think he looks ready and, therefore, I'd recall Webster (hoping the break and more time on the training field will have done him good).

I do, yes. I’ll admit he wasn’t great on Saturday but it was his first start in months and he’s fresh from the operating table, maybe we should give him a larger sample size before bouncing these quotes. Webster was given weeks, months even of being inept, not completely fair is it?

Do you think Potter will start Duffy against Sheffield United?

Not even 1 month as he played at Everton on 11th January.

Below the belt comment about Duffy he has just come back for surgery, probably hadn't trained a lot to try to fit onto a much changed team. He got some basics wrong , can't argue with that but given above circumstances not surprising. The truth is neither Webster nor Duffy are the full package if we could much the formers footballing ability with the latter's strength and commitment then we would have a winner.
