News Report: Devoy’s Game-Changing Performance Shocks Fans! 5 Ways He Dominated the Field
Following Swindon Town’s 3-2 victory over AFC Wimbledon, Gavin Gunning praised Dawson Devoy as a “game changer” and predicted that he might do great things.
Wimbledon took the lead in the second minute thanks to a goal from Joe Lewis, but the decision to bring on Devoy at halftime transformed the game.
The on-loan Milton Keynes Dons midfielder was instrumental in Aaron Drinan’s equaliser and then scored two himself before Lewis added another to make for an entertaining end.
Gunning praised Devoy’s overall performance after coming on and the progress he has made since joining Swindon.
He explained: “We brought Dawson on at halftime, and he altered the game. “I told him that if he scores goals, he will make much more money than he does now.
That is straightforward. “If you are a ten or a midfielder and can get past the striker to score goals, you will have enormous value. “If you play from deep and switch sides, you appear to be a good player, but you will remain at this level.”
“If you can go above and above and add numbers to your game, which is what teams want, he will be one of the best players at this level.
He moves around and understands how to utilize space to get into the gaps between midfielders and center backs. “I believe he was bad for the first six minutes, so I pulled him over and told him what he needed to work on. “Then he was getting beyond, creates chances, and the composure for the second goal is brilliant.”
Town also performed admirably in adverse conditions, as the County Ground field proved tricky once more, and Gunning was pleased with how his men handled the challenge. He said: “We were under pressure, and the goal came from Dokes [Udoka Godwin-Malife], who had a little of a bottle on him and went in.
We’ve turned it over a few times, but if you want to reach where you want to go, you have to do that. “Hopefully, the pitch will improve as we go.”
Godwin-Malife became the first Town player this season to be issued a red card after receiving a second yellow card in stoppage time, and Gunning was dissatisfied with the decision. He went on to say:
“It was just mad, crazy, I don’t even know how you can get a second yellow card but no warning.”It was literally insane; he walked over and gave him a yellow. I am not one for battering people, and everyone makes errors, but guy clearly has not read his book.
He didn’t realise Dokes was on a yellow light; else, he would not have noticed. “He has taken the yellow out and then realised he has made a mistake, but it is what it is.”
