Shane Duffy

I really hoping he does well! He could very well end up being Johnny's replacement in January

I'M UP ALL NIGHT FOR SHANE DUFFY!!!

i agree with the calls that he should have been ahead of heitinga this season; but seeing as he's one of our highest paid player and has got good experience, you can see why the manager may see him as the more sensible option.

Started for Yeovil Town today and played the full 90. By all accounts played really well. Go Duff. Exactly what he needs.

Would be chuffed to bits if Duffy can push on,.....heitinga will be gone soon and alcaraz has a 2 year contract.

Fingers crossed.

What's this up all night for Shane Duffy Shiz

I know it is hypothetical and I have only seen Duffy a few times IMO he has got what it takes to be good for us even if loans required first. That said have not seen enough to comment on ability to be ball paying CB, just excellent defender.

+1 The lad's got the minerals to push on and develop his game with sufficient competitive practice imo

Anyone get any report back on how he got on versus Bolton?

Ha.. Yeah seems harsh I know but it's more out of frustration that any time we have a youngster who gets near the first team some take for granted he's boss and should be playing ahead of seasoned international players. That surely because he's got to this point he must just need game time in our x11. Some seem to ignore that quite possibly he's just not good enough for this level. Which is no shame btw.

At this point he's not good enough, a few games for yoevil are not gonna change that. He needs yrs away from here playing every week, then who knows where he'll be in 5 yrs time.

I wish him all the best tho, hope he goes on to be a outstanding CB but to reach the heights needed to play for a top 6 PL team week in week out is HUGE!

Probably should be recalled as well.

Probably will be, no Heitinga in the squad so I'm presuming he was traveling for a medical somewhere (Galatasaray probably). One more injury at the back and we would be doomed. Unless we have a signing lined up......yeah, no.

might be a good idea if Distin/Coleman turns out to be a long term injury. Sounds as like Duffy is in great form and is ready for the step up to the premiership.

Inexperienced and slow is not what we need if heitinga goes. Alcaraz showed last night the perils of slow defenders against fast paced teams. We need better. Not to mention alcaraz is rarely fit anyway.
