You should avoid alcohol before going to the games. The defence has been good, but Berra when fit will be back in the team and the defence will be better for it. Berra’s presence and leadership is massively important to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souttar. Berra. Dunne. Best trio in Scotland. I know that's some stretch but I genuinely think they are easily the best in Scotland. Funny that as I found myself looking at them during the secind half and wondering if Berra would get into tjis defence just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendoll Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Weird to think we have two Premiership players on loan just now who are seriously talented, when in the past we had two loan players from the Premiership in Mccallum and Ngoo. Our scouting system has definitely improved.

mscjambo Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Dunne- could go very far in the game. Decent on the ground, good in the air and can play a bit. A bit like that Harry Maguire.

Our scouting system has definitely improved. Dunne was giving big licks at full time, reckon he's really enjoying it here, long may that continue I think it a bit strange that Man Utd let Dunne go albeit he has signed for another Premiership team in Burnley but they give Mitchell a new two year deal. Based on what I have seen from both these players I think they have signed the wrong man. Mitchell is a good player going forward but he still has a lot to learn defensively and so far does not seem to have reached the level of perfromance he did last season before his injury. I am sure he will improve especiaslly if he stays injury free and continues to get game time in his best position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1986 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 If Dunne is still here beyond the winter break then Christophe Berra has a real problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haken Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I'm not going to disagree with anything anyone's saying about Dunne. But what neither he nor Souttar has (yet) is Berra's experience or presence. Dunne and Souttar are both better on the ball than Berra, but there have been times recently when I've felt we've missed Berra's experience where the defence as a whole would probably have been marshalled better. However, losing Berra, in terms of results, has not been the blow it could have been. And Dunne has been a big part of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettigrewsstylist Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Oustanding performances so far. My surpruse signing of the summer i think. Big month now tho against experienced dirty tricks gang and homer refs. Will need to see if young lad can rise above the distractions applied against him and keep focus on the basics. Im hopeful he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The big thing for me is that he spent the season on loan at a title-winning side last year. Whatever level you're playing at, the mentality needed to keep winning over the course of a league season is a great attribute to have.

The Goalscoring Knee Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 My first game in the flesh this season - thought it was a great game, thought we should have been out of sight by the time he scored and thought he was the best player on the pitch.

Captain Canada Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'm not ITK or anything but I don't think we'll see him back here. Souttar and Dikamona are due back late Jan/early Feb and we still have Haring, Smith and *cough* Hughes who can play that position if needed. The other thing to consider is that Burnley are deep in relegation trouble due to their woeful defensive record this season. I think Dyche might be thinking he'd be an option worth trying out as his current defence is getting ripped apart most weeks. I'd love to see him come back and play with Berra and Souttar but we don't always play three central defenders so both he and his manager might think twice about extending the loan if he's not guaranteed to start. If we do have an option to bring in another loan signing, a left-sided winger is likely to be more of a priority than a central defender I think.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thinking about this, the thing which Burnley might look to do is get the boy some game time in the championship as they will be playing there next season and if they need £ the will have buyers in for Mee and Tarkowski if they do go down, 2 good players. Dunne has been excellent for Hearts but still room for improvement to become a real dominant defender like Berra, he would benefit from playing alongside him for the next 6 months. I would be delighted to see him back but good luck to him if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
