Starts today great for him to get to play with mcgeady
Scored today for Sunderland, this guy could be a player for us
Yeah, is really making the most of his loan moves and climbing the ladder pretty quickly. If he continues to be successful for Sunderland, it could open the door to a permanent move next season, if Burnley still aren't ready to give him a shot. And if Sunderland are in The Championship, that puts him into contention for a spot in the squad, although the earliest I can see him there would be 2020 - for the qualifiers, our centre-halves will be from Duffy, Clark, Long, Egan and Keogh, with Lenihan and Williams as back-up. Although, I guess we could give him a run-out against New Zealand in November, assuming he is playing Championship football (or better)Quote:

Burnley go through 5-4 on penalties. Brady converted the winning spot kick
The Burnley message boards so far seem almost unanimous in awarding Dunne MOM.Quote:

Has had mixed loan spells - impressed at Hearts but not so much at Sunderland, although as ever Sunderland can be a bit of a basket case. Would be good to see him get a championship loan move to see what he can do at that level.
Actually I think he should take his chances in Burnley. Long isnt improving or getting younger which i think could make dunne third choice CB.. he would get a lot of football throughout the season for a young player that's ok.
Agree here. He's so much younger than Long. If he passed him out and got a few games in the league and a few more in the cup under his belt it could really help him get his career going.Quote:

I like Long, actually; a very solid and reliable performer. If anything were to happen to Duffy or Egan I'd feel far happier to see him step into the breach than Lenihan. But obviously Kenny views things differently.
Long has not been playing regularly enough ! !Quote:

He did ok for us in one game out of the blue for Martin O’Neill as well if I recall correctly ! !Quote:

I didn't necessarily think he was Kenny's type, so I was slightly surprised by his elevation over certain others.
Anyway, good to see Dunne make his debut.
I wonder if Kenny has a philosophy of preferably having one of his two centre halfs be a bit more of a bully, while the other will be expected to do a bit more on the ball. It's not the worst strategy for set pieces to prioritize physicality in at least one of your centre halfs.
He quite possibly does, in a Ferdinand-Vidic style partnership.
I'd put Clark, Egan, and maybe Dunne in the ball playing role, with Duffy, Dara O'Shea, and possibly Lenihan in the the bullying role.
Whats wrong with bullying in both roles ? ?Quote:

Lenihan has always been praised as a ball playing centre half. I’ve never really seen it but that’s the general consensus, no?
Jimmy Dunne is going to get his EPL chance tonight, according to Dan McDonnell.
Starts, as suggested, partnering Long.
Brady also in the Burnley starting xi.
When was the last time two Irish players partnered each other at centre back in the EPL?
Dunne and Clark both featured fairly regularly for Villa during the 10-11 and 11-12 seasons so there must be a reasonable chance they partnered each other in the centre of defence at some point during those seasons.
Dunne was pretty shocking for the Leicester goal it must be said. Long has looked solid to be fair.
Haven't seen it but many of the Burnley fans are stating Taylor was at fault. The vast majority of comments on the Burnley match thread from the fans regarding Dunne have been very positive.Quote:

However there does seem to be a consensus that he has been playing out of his skin and they are expecting him to be poorer than he has been. Has anyone seen much of Dunne playing and is he not Premiership standard?
He's only 22 surely he can only improve.
Was he one of the two that needed a taxi back to the pitch after the Vardy turn ?Quote:

Hard to see Burnley or West Brom surviving this year

Fulham no. Southampton yes. Villa equivocal. Squad looks pretty stale and ordinary. Minimal investment and Tarkowski likely leaving. Chris Wood is not up to standard. So I expect they will be struggling at the wrong end of the table this year
