Out of interest, you writing off the first 4 games of the season he started were we conceded 10 goals in 4 games? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 9 November 2022 Share Posted 9 November 2022 Remember the debate, a couple of years ago, about who'd be last man standing from the title squad of 2016? Kasper was the favourite, though there were takers for Vardy and Albrighton.......well, the odds must be shortening on Big Dan. Am I right in thinking he's out of contract next summer? If so.....sign him up! Ideally, we'd bring in a better centre half as first choice, as Dan does have his limitations. But if money's tight and our transfer priorities are in other positions, we could do a lot worse than renew Dan's contract and play him regularly. I find it impressive the way he keeps coming back and winning back a place in the team after being injured, dropped etc. Suggests he has a very good attitude. His performances also seem to benefit greatly from getting a decent run in the team. When he plays regularly, he rarely seems to make the gaffes that he's occasionally prone to when brought in for the odd couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 9 November 2022 Share Posted 9 November 2022 So pleased for Big Dan. I think the guy is a diamond and have stood by him even when many were dismissing him as shite. Yeah he has a mistake in him, most players do, but the honesty, passion and love for our club the guy has is immense. He doesn’t let us down in terms of effort, commitment or attitude. Playing alongside Faes seems to have steadied him up. It’s almost like a double signing. He seems much more relaxed and confident.You love to see it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 9 November 2022 Share Posted 9 November 2022 Dare I say, he’s currently 2nd choice (ultimately a starting CB) for us going forward this season? From at times 5th or 4th choice that’s some accomplishment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's an exaggeration! Of course it is. For comic effect. But I would say you used to be able to rely on him to make at least one dangerously awful mistake most games. More power to his elbow if he can carry on not doing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you going to suggest that Amartey hasn't made heart-in-mouth mistakes, like gently passing to the opposition on the edge of our box, in a way that Evans, for example, just doesn't tend to?

We have looked far more solid with Amartey and Faes at CB. Dan has made mistakes and can make them, but we seem far better with him than without him. Some people just seem I myopic when it comes to this lad. They can’t seem to let go of anything and see him for what he is, a solid professional who loves the club and has never let us down. One of my favourite players frankly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FosseSpark Posted 11 November 2022 Share Posted 11 November 2022 Lot of time for Big Dan. Would prefer him to be more of a shithouse, but him and Faes have got something going on and i like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans does it a lot. He'll also pass the ball directly to their midfield in tons of space, letting them run at our backline. It not even obvious what pass he's looking for. If someone told me he intended to give the ball away, I'd believe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed a clearance header on the halfway line a few games ago? Few on here called him out for it. His game has massively improved but let's not try and rewrite his 'career' as a CB, in the main he was poor, he isn't anymore but I doubt Barca or RM will be knocking in January. If Faes and Knudson can improve him that mucg in seven games imagine how impressive a good CB would look.
