Gordon Greer: Dunk should have been POTS

Bozza · May 1, 2015

This has annoyed me a bit this morning.

Greer told The Argus: “If you asked me who was player of the year, no disrespect to Inigo Calderon, but I would have chosen Lewis Dunk because he started the season unbelievably and plus he’s still the top scorer in the team.

“When you look around the country, the top scorers always get player of the year. He’s done great and it’s an achievement on its own to be top scorer as a centre-back.”

It shows a lack of understanding of the Albion fanbase and just why Calde was voted as Player of the Season, and so comprehensively too.

Besides, if we're trumpeting Dunk for his goalscoring exploits, I note he's only scored twice in his last 29 games which is, quite frankly, rubbish.

It also adds some support to the feeling some fans have that Greer and Calde don't seem to get on. There have been times on the pitch when Greer doesn't seem to want to pass to Inigo.

No need to be annoyed at all. I think you are confusing the Argus' headline "Dunk SHOULD have been player of the season", with Greer's actual quote, which was that "If you asked me who was player of the year, no disrespect to Inigo Calderon, but I would have chosen Lewis Dunk"

He's entitled to his opinion as is everyone else.

Spot on. I guess it's the central defender's union, but as skipper he should be a bit more aware.

Rod Marsh · May 1, 2015

I agree with Greer, my player of the season was Lewis Dunk. Didn't Inigo also acknowledge in his acceptance speech that he was surprised to win as he thought Dunk would? Inigo is the fans favourite, not the player of the season.

I agree with Greer Dunk is our Player of the season our best player by a country mile,and not just because he scored more goals than our joke of a record signing, yes Calde has a great personality a lovely smile and great teeth but player of the season he is definitely not.Grow up Bozza

That's a lesson in the art of understatement right there! It was a running joke for about two years around us (last at Withdean and first at Amex) that Greer would always pass anywhere than to Calderon, with the exception of those times when he'd blast an uncontrollable ball at him and the shout at him for not Zidane-ing the ball under control.

There is nothing more patronising than prefacing something with 'No disrespect' .An example could be :

No disrespect, Gordon, but I think the Albion have been utter shite this season.

It's the new 'I'm not racist but.....

Stumpy Tim · May 1, 2015

I agree with Greer too. Dunk should have won it easily. No idea why he didn't - local lad, top scorer, best defender, highly thought of. Baffling

WhingForPresident · May 1, 2015

If he hadn't fallen to bits in the last few months he would've got it.

neilbard · May 1, 2015

Too be fair you'd struggle to give any of them the title player of the season! Calderon got it because he is the most popular with fans! :thumbsup:

It's because we've had a truly gash season. The Albion support have collectively thrown their hands up in the air as said "Player of the season? You're all twàts and have let us down. At least Calde tweets a bit and does work for charidee"

Too many dickheads confuse player of the season with personality of the season.

I would argue that Dunk is one of the few (only?) highlights of the season

That seems to be pretty much ALL the time, from where I'm sitting?

Indeed, although even his form fell away in the last quarter of the season. God knows where we'd have been without him before the end of Jan!

Too many dickheads think their opinion is worth more than others'.

Very true, who will we sell him to for peanuts,the cherries?

If his form had been worse in the first quarter, and he'd finished strongly he would have won. But last time I looked it was Player of the SEASON, not Player of the Last 12 games

If a team mate of mine said something like this I would not be impressed.....
Not only has Greer got Calderon's back up but the fans who made the decision.
Has he received some bad news from Chris this week so is not fussed who he upsets ?

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
