That feels a little too harsh. He's not bad for a 20 year old. You must have noticed that he gets a lot of attacking chances and finds the ball at his feet in the final third.
Dorgu is fantastic at finding space and making runs down the channels so it's natural that he gets the ball in good positions.
The problem is his crossing and passing w.r.t. creating chances is terrible so our attacks are often impotent. I think he lacks the talent to be good enough here so I don't think he'll be a top top left back but he could be a decent backup.

Regardless, he's better than Shaw, simply by virtue of being a much better defender, even if Shaw was 100% fit.

Rotten luck. Going to put a lot of pressure on Shaw now. Maybe the idea someone had of Heaven at LB has legs?

Shame we sent Amass back out on loan. It's not a LB we need anyway, more a LW and we've got that covered with Cunha & Mount.

Real shame for the kid. But it's not an injury that creates long term issues.

Chance for Cunha, Mount, Lacey in the forward position, and Heaven as s full back
