What a difference between Dunk who stuck his head in everywhere to stop any threat aparrt from his goal and that big useless article they had Bamba who didnt win a ball or tackle first half. I though that he was taking a leaf out of Titus Brambles book. absolutely useless.

First few minutes I thought Bamba looked strong but as has been posted, he went downhill rapidly. To get muscled off the ball by balldock shows just how poor he was in the end.

Or how strong Baldock is and made him look bad.

However it is probably somewhere in between, Bamba is just a ****ing lump like most of that Leeds team.

Didn't you tell us that Dunk couldn't head a ball?

Dunk and Goldson have to be first choice now don't they?

Yes I remember thinking how dominant he was when we got beat at Leicester under Gus rather than at the Amex.

Just what we need I thought at the time :rolleyes:

Thing with Bamba - just like Danny Shittu who was 'awesome' in that Millwall debacle last season - if you play to their very limited strengths, they look good. If you move the ball quickly, and pull them out of their comfort zone, they are a liability.

He has improved this area of his game tremendously and is now getting distance on his headers rather than just heading them up in the air. Perhaps having CC as assistant manager, who was a ball winning centre back, has helped him, He has just got to sort out the shirt tugging either stop it or get better at covering it up and he will gain more credibility. I thought that he played very well last night and wilt Goldson is forming a great pairing.
