Ian Dunbavin
- Thread starter Doug
- Start date
:engsmil: i would agree with that,1st to games a bit shaky but the last 2-3 games he has played excellently,makes you wonder what will happen when rob elliot is match fit, as with his performance tonite i dont think that jc can justify dropping him when elliot is fit again:engsmil:
Immense keeper.
I was very prejudiced against him joining us with his past reputations as reckless off the field, but as far as I'm concerned he can do what he likes off the pitch aslong as he's still performing like that!
...reminiscent of Jamo methinks.

dunbavin dun drinking dun driving dah dah dah dah dah dah!!!
wrong wrong wrong. Where did that song come from?
Got to admit I had my doubts about him but they have all gone now with his last few performances, well done, hope he keeps it up.
Just 1 more point, we all slag ref's off, though the one last night did well I thought, not giving too much credit though, it doesn't seem normal

He made three or four top saves, the one near the end where he was blindsighted but had the reactions to get down andstop the header was the best off the lot. He nearly got caught out by a Grant Holt shot but did very well. He looks to be loving it here..His reaction at the full time whistle showed this, he was going crazy! Well done and keep going Ian..
I to had reservations about bavo but i have got to say he has been very impressive and now he seems to have settled into the team and is not afraid to give the back line a piece of his mind just like robbie.it must make coley feel good when he has to pick between two outstanding keepers.

Must admit i was nervous about Dunbarvin [as Rob Elliot has done so well for us & him being injured] but have to say he's impressed me of late - specially last night. Mmm is there now comp for the no1 spot & wonders how that will effect the both keepers??? As we got 2 good keepers in Elliot & Dunbarvin are we going to keep them both??
Must admit that 1st I saw Bavo thought he was nervous and not too commanding in his box.
Well after last night he proved me soooooooooooooo wrong.
Think that compition for the goalie shirt is the best way to keep the both of them sharp.
Liked Rob last season think he made a big difference and helped to clinch title with plenty of clean sheets let hope that both of these lads can do the same again this season

Except he can kick, and with both feet.
Much as I loved Jamo there was always a certain frisson with his kicking, which is now apparently being enjoyed by the remaining Barrow fans, just look at their messageboard. They don't know how lucky they are.
Dunbavin/Elliott it's got to be good, I'll be happier when we have a goalie on the bench.
Anybody know who'd have gone in nets last night if needed?

mangan!!!!
theres only one ian dunbavin ...saved us in the last 2 games with world class saves well they looked like that from where i was looking
Mangan ??? lmfao!!!!!! now that would of been interesting hehehehehe
The thought of what we'd of done without a keeper did cross my mind at Stockport match, when Dunbarvin was hurt in his side & looked a little worrying [according to Dan on radio]
Has there been any word about Elliot being able to come back after his injury, last heard he was still awaiting clearance from Charlton?
