oafc1955 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 For all the Keillor-Dunn critics, this is what Harry has to say....... “He’s a huge talent. He’s getting there with his belief. "He’s taken a few knocks but his ability is something I’ve only seen on a few players in my time. “He’s just got to believe in what he’s capable of doing and if he believes in it he’ll be a fantastic player.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure DKD has improvement in him but am not as convinced as our manager seems to be, however he does look good when running at defenders and is a decent finisher. Here's hoping Harry's proved right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 As one of his critics I have to say he's worked very hard to improve his game, looking stronger on the ball and improved his distribution of the ball. I have a lot of time for players who put in the time and effort and at 23yo he could well be a good asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Dunn is very hit and miss but he's scoring, so give the lad a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 His status as an OWTB legend has been secured through the misspelling of his name in a thread title. One Cameroon Dumingham, there's only one Camera Dunnington... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have quite a few who shouldn't be written off, I put Whelan in that class as when he matures and gets stronger he will turn out to be a good player IMO.

Let's face it, the standard of L2 is poor to start with and he's proved his worth as far as I'm concerned. Like BP, CBJ is the one I worry about most of the time, needs to start making better choices and do the basics right, has the ability as his past would suggest.

LightDN123 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 In fairness to the lad he’s scoring currently and is okay at driving forward with the ball. The rest of his game is questionable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB-J will be 24 years old next month. Latics is the sixth team he has played for. His past suggests that he was a promising talent when he was younger but is struggling to accept that he cannot play at the highest level. When he is on his game he looks a very good left sided player. His problem as I see it is that he often loses concentration and almost looks uninterested at times in what is going on around him. He has a naturally languid style which doesn’t help the perception of him not giving his all. Saturday was a case in point and he was rightly subbed for Badan.

I get it and know full well, he most certainly wouldn't be at Latics if he had any kind of consistency to his game. Just wish we could see more solidity from him and he'd be fine.

Ogdenwoodwhittle Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It's a matter of mental and physical toughness, decision making under pressure as well as natural skill/talent. Those who make it can do all above consistently. Saw this when I was playing schoolboy games , and we had Andy Barlow and another excellent midfield player who was on city and then latterly latics books. One was consistent, t'other not so and only one got to play 1st team for Latics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If hes technically very good and can find the back of the back of the net then is it a case of it best of he goes up front rather than in midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinchy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 DKD is taking a lot of stick (rightly) for his early season performances which weren't even pub league standard at times. Credit to him, HK and the coaching staff. He could have let his head go when he was dropped after a few games but he has redoubled his efforts and he's starting to look a player imo. Whelan is a tricky one, but I'd echo BP's thoughts, as given time on the ball he's a tidy player with bags of energy, which he showed against Bolton away. Sadly you don't get that time in league 2 against most teams. The centre of midfield is a war of attrition at times particularly over winter and when the pitches turn to bobbly dust bowls. CBJ I like as he has an eye for a pass and a good cross on him. It's his defensive attributes that are letting him down and as others have said, his concentration. Possibly the games just too slow for him at lower league level? Thats perhaps were he needs to learn how to make it interesting for himself, starting moves off, triggering attacks etc. hopefully that comes with confidence and playing games.
