I am not sure teams who play with their backs to the ball are going to be successful.

[Albion] Duffy and Dunk and of an era?

I am concerned that our back 3 does not seem to be working and looks weak but the pressure of needing points will get GP to revert to a flat back 4.

Not working? Seriously?
It was great in the Championship, I agree.
Too early to say.
Webbo hasn't been bought to sit on the bench, so we shall just have to see how G.P. uses his 4 defenders for the rest of the season.
If we accept that Dunk will be an ever present , notwithstanding injury or suspension, my guess is that Webbo, Shane and Big Dan will all see a fair bit of action during the campaign.

I’m not, there are plenty who are still pissed with CH’s dismissal and will remind us every time we lose by playing expansive football
And other Albion fans who just can't wait to get on here, after a loss, no matter who the manager was/is/will be.

Hope not. Duffy's done nothing to warrant being dropped to the bench. Dan Burn might be flavour of last month, but if he causes many more VAR-era goals to be chalked off, then sentiment will soon turn sharply against him.

We look very weak at the back and have conceded goals rather than look solid and not concede.

I should coco
Duffy was very much at fault for scumHamptons first goal and shipping a shed load of goals at the end of last season would say you are wrong.

Who is counting certainly not me and I think that you are obsessed.

Not sure why all of our back 3 all have to be ball playing centre halves. There is not a better player in our squad for winning aerial battles, blocks and scoring from set pieces and for me for his lack of passing range the other qualities more than make up for it.

Yes it will be more of a mix and match for the defender's depending on opposition. Same with the rest of the team if there are options. How many times last year players needed a rest but had to play.
Like he and Dunk did so admirably last season,the Burnley pair tore them a new one so easily!

Well the Sunday Times markings yesterday go Webster 5, Dunk 6, Burn 5. Duffy will get back in when GP becomes more pragmatic and results increase in importance.
Do you usually place much store by newspaper markings?

I find them interesting, that is why I read them. They are an independent view. That back three will ship goals, particularly given our style, so I reckon Duffy will get another chance.
