Alessandro Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Well apparently he was going to start today, which I couldn't believe before the game and after that 45 minutes i'm even more sure I was right. Famara and Reid were excellent - only a knock to Bobby took him out the second half. Diony needs more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying Diony is and always will be rubbish but he was piss poor today. Bobby took a knock late in the first half and presumably went off through the injury.

All the players were at fault today for the collective way they sat too deep at times and didn't attack enough. How many times did we see opportunities to break and attack only to stop, look back and pass back to the defence. Really poor today. Sat too deep. Seriously?! That felt like the opposite of what we did to be honest. Everyone trying to be a hero when a bit of calm at 3-1 kills the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 It's like groundhog day on here. It's 2018 and people are STILL writing off signings ridiculously quickly. Matt Smith and Diedhiou proving them convincingly wrong after premature judgements should teach people not to do it.. but still here we are. Clearly rusty, not on the same wavelength as the players and his movement isn't where it should be - all of those things improve with game-time.

But one thing we haven’t got in our position is time. If you want to give time, we’ve two expensive strikers sat on the bench in Engval and Woodrow who have been with us ‘a time’. Better still, like when previously we were in a promotion position in January, get a proven scorer in. Hopefully, I’ll be proved wrong but our January signings are nothing for our CEO to rant about. .... if we wanted to push ourselves over the line we were in dire of need of ‘instants’ to relieve the flagging regulars not ‘ ones for the future’ - particularly when they aren’t going to be ours next season.

Yep and I agree that's a very valid argument... but a different debate altogether about out transfer policy. Fact is that we've got Diony. My point is about his performances in isolation and people are writing him off far far too early when recent history has taught our fans how foolish that is.

winsaw Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I can see he has ability, he gets in the right position a lot, he knows how to work a center back but when the ball gets to him he looks so nervous can't help but think once he has a goal he will look like a different player, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 So many ******* ********* on here. Wrighting a player off blah blah blah. New country , style of play, physical league etc etc . He’s played a few minutes here and there . Any player needs a run of games to get up to speed. So many that expect instant results , idiots .

formerly known as ivan Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Needed someone more proven IMHO given the position we are in. Diony was a big risk that isn’t paying off at the moment. Could all change with one goal though so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not pissed off with Diony, LJ has said himself he ballsed up with the subs. 3-0 up and it's like we've won but how many shall we score? Sunderland weren't 3 goals worse than us in the first half and we were cocky. So that's a bad bad error by the management tean if you ask me. I always felt like they'd score and let's face it they should have long before they actually did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 With the best will in the world, he was absolutely embarrassing today. Didn’t seem to have a clue, and couldn’t do the basics. He just didn’t look like a footballer, let alone a £10m one. I've seen some dreadful performances in a City shirt, but that was right up there. Very happy to be proved wrong, but I’m not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly making the best of Steve's money with that lot atm. All that said, it's been a great season and if we can get back to form we could yet have a decent shot. COYR....

RedM Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 We can only wait and see whether he has got it or not and whether he suits us. Unfortunately as others have said we don’t have the luxury of time. Frustrating though when you hear other teams sign someone the day before and slot straight in and score a pot full. It just doesn’t happen for us like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps Diony was due to start today but had the flu this week (which he did) so started on the bench instead. Then when Bobby took a knock in the first half and we were 3-0 he was brought on as he was fit enough to play 45 and there is no question he has been brought into play games. Of course his jaded performance could be attributed to the fact he wasn't fully fit, but then that wouldn't fit with the weird agenda you have with me and others (like Nick J) that know things you don't.

It Effing infuriates me listening to 5hit like 'it will still be a great season if we finish mid table', like these opportunities come along all the time! I've waited most of my life for another opportunity (like this one) and would be devastated if we throw it away, with performances like that today!

ScottishRed Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 The lad may well come good, the problem however is we don't have time to wait just now. Goals win games and despite scoring 3 today we still didn't win. A 4th goal at 3-0 or 3-1 would have killed the game stone dead and we missed numerous opportunities as we were simply not clinical. I am avoiding the defending for their goals as that is a seperate, although important ,supplementary point. There is no doubt in my mind that we should have thrown the kitchen sink at getting Grabban on loan - he scored 12 goals by December for a team that frankly are woeful. We also have Gustav and Woodrow , neither of whom are going to win us games - I fear our lack of goals is going to see us miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you’re referring to Nick J as someone who knows “things”....ha, yeah well, you’re backing up my point for me. Either way, I fail to see what this has to do with anyone else or any agenda's that you seem to want to create for me. I challenge what people say sometimes, doesn't mean I have an agenda. What you said about Diony didn't stack up, IMO, why you take it so personally, I think is actually your problem. You preach like it's gospel, you told me Magnussen and Reid wanted out would leave in the summer for example. Don't be so offended if people on a forum don't automatically believe everything you say.
