Dunne definitely is great at OGs
I think his performances are variable. I have the impression he is learning his trade and might develop into a much better player after another season or three. We, however, are running out of time. It is partly a confidence issue. Had his header gone in at the death, this thread would (probably) not have been started.

Yes we would have started another thread, but one with a different title pointing out the fact that he still defends like ****e but would prefer to attack instead, going forward!!!!!
 
Personally for me the arsehole is the bloke who starts a thread like this.

Burnley was his first bad game for us. He has had a couple of other games where he has made an error here or there but Burnley was his first bad game.

He was excellent in the recent league games particularly at home, like against Swansea, Palace, Burnley, Leicester. He’s good on the ball, which gives him an edge on our other centre back options and is particularly useful when you consider how bad on the ball Henry and Barton are.

And of course he is strong. He’s 6 foot 3 or 4 and not a skinny lad. He’s cock up with Ings was more that he switched off and was too passive in that instance. If he went in for a true shoulder to shoulder with him obviously there would only be one winner. The mistake was he didn’t do that.

Also his obvious dominance in the air is more evidence of his obvious physical strength. So to be so sure he isn’t strong is surely seen as pretty daft by anyone with an unbiased opinion.

Its one thing when to have threads like this when its about SWP, Henry or even Hoilett. Who have had poor or questionable performances over a prolonged period of time. To start throwing in threads like this looks to me like attention seeking behaviour and/or your first opportunity to jump in with some sort of bias or preconceived opinion you had of him.

You're blind. I've been saying this all season, from match day 1. He hasn't improved. He's had decent moments like the rest of the team, but his overall performance scores are far below average.

Dominance in the air? Burnley scored from his lack of any defensive technical ability in the air in those kinds of situations! He might be good at heading from a corner to try and score, but his defending is lacking quite a bit.

I think that's a bit harsh, its a reasonable question to ask.Has been at fault for a number of goals, we are not 2nd bottom by mistake, and there has been a number of headed opportunities which he should have buried. Is he worse than any other QPR CBs probably not, although I would like to see Onouha and Donaldson at CB, Robinson at LB and Isla at RB.
 
I've not been impressed since his first game, but I do think that there's a decent defender in there somewhere.
I'm prepared to delay judgement on him until we've seen him under the guidance of some decent coaches.

But I know that may be in the Championship.
