This is massively disingenuous about Duffy, to be honest. He's not only there because Hollis is the only alternative, he's there because Nolan decided to give him a new contract and planned around him being a first choice centre back, which has proven to be a fine decision so far.
Personally I don't rate Duffy as a defender.
Too small, not quick, clumsy, makes mistakes and seems to have brittle confidence.
I get the points about leader, good guy etc buy I'd rather look at what his output on the pitch is and he makes a couple of clangers a match.
If we had 2 Brisleys we'd be almost certainties for promotion.
[QUOTE=Elite_Pie;38677851]Of course they are. I would love to see a better replacement for both, but at our level and with our budget it's not easily done.
We have a spare £100,000 available what we saved on Noble
Stead's new nickname is one touch.
One touch and he's lost the ball. Also his shooting is weak and he isn't quick enough.
Don't get me wrong. I would love him to score a hatful of goals but I can't see it happening. He has been a good servant but maybe it is time to retire.
He's only called "one touch" because it's so bad he rarely get's a second touch.
