We had Billy Gowers in the centre in lieu of Dunkley on multiple occasions, ffs. It was a joke.
Yeah in hindsight this one didn't look good at all, however, I don't mind a coach who likes to try new things in order to win games and get the best of out players. Sometimes they work (Lippa), sometimes they don't. In any case, Dunkley is becoming a beast in the midfield and it is great to watch.

Is it really a 'hindsight' moment? I think most were saying early on in the season it wasn't working. Easton Wood was given just two JLT games as a forward before it was recognised it wasn't working.
I don't blame Bevo for trying it but did he really not see it wasn't working or did he just dig in his heels?

I have no problem with the coach trying new things in order to win games. When they don't work, he changes it up.

He stuck with it a lot longer than he should have and by the way, you called the Easton Wood move back to defence after just one JLT week

In this instance he had plenty of exposed form to draw from though as Dunkley had played predominantly forward and predominantly centre in previous years.
