That's 17 games on the spin without a yellow card for him now. And to think he had so many in the first part of last year that everyone on here was just waiting for his next suspension. Fair play to him. He's cleaned up his act.
Thought he sussed it last season after the first suspension, he does still chase the ball (see Bournemouth second goal), but he dives in a lot less.

That block late on yesterday from Shelveys shot....top notch

And one of those was a mistake by the ref.Since he got sent off in Feb against Hudderfield he has been amazing, and only picked up a further 2 yellows.
I wouldn't worry. He's on a long contract and he'll be wanted in January and each following window. The only way we'd consider selling half way through this season is if we knew the money would allow us to strengthen and do better than we are now. Given that we'll already be planning a big spend on a striker, we don't really need much more to spend in January.I would be amazed if a big bid doesn't come in for him in January. I just hope we aren't tempted to sell.

That's not to say we're not going to be a selling club, everyone under the top few are, but we won't need to sell so soon. We won't deny players big moves, but they may have to wait a little.

I'm going to have to finesse my inane bibbling on the subject.
Instead of saying Dunk gets lead astray by Duffy's robust approach to football, it's now obvious little Lewis couldn't keep his head with Stocko bellowing at him.
All the bundles and look at me bravado surrounding simple double saves from penalties, etc, got into Dunkies head.
Now that has been replaced by 'I need to deal with this as the fella behind appears to be a long way away', everyone's a winner.
Anyway - it is 17 games without a yellow, purely due to subjective refereeing. He really ought to have got one last Friday for a very deliberate trip on the edge of the box late on.
He's done really well, that looks like the product of some soul-searching about what he wants to do in football, and hard work and good coaching on the training ground.
Dunk has always had most of the attrbutes to be a top centre half but was just let down by poor judgment, silly fouls and bookings.
I don't see much difference between him and Michael Keane and if he carries on like this, with such a premium on decent centre backs, he will generate interest from bigger clubs and could make an England squad.
