Anybody could have come on and affected the game, you never know that's the beauty of football. He had 2 runs. Got fouled twice and did bugger all for the rest of the time. He's been with us long enough to know that hes' not the messaih he's a very shit footballer well he got the Millwall player sent off as well
I don't think anyone thinks he has turned into the greatest player ever, but with a bit of coaching and confidence he could be very useful.
He is the fastest player I have ever seen in a Town shirt.
But never mind lets stick with Kachunga out there ... Continually turning their back 4 and midfield is a defending ploy attached to an attacking ploy. See Millwall for details on using high long stuff to gain field position and the odd quick break? It's not the beautiful game but we are far from a beautiful team at this moment. Diakabys speed means it's not required to 'hit him' and that makes it different, he is unlikely to hold up much if played in the air or directly to him, he needs to be running for or onto balls. He looks a happier player when he does not get every pass to his feet with his back to goal, miles away from goal, with a defender or two in his shorts with him?

he did OK when he came on. So much so they brought Murray Wallace (ex-town) on later in the game just to foul him / mark him. Should have had a penalty. Needs to work on his close control when he has the ball but if we use him properly he could be a massive asset. His pace is unreal. He has more ball control skill than he's been given credit for, blistering pace. Ussain Bolt eat your heart out this guy can actually play a bit as well. Danny i'm sure will keep working on him. He actually ran quicker with the ball than any defender without it ! Can’t recall ever seeing a player as fast . Fingers crossed the Cowleys can reach the parts DW and JS couldn’t .

Diakhaby’s 30 minute cameo completely changed the match on Saturday. Anyone saying otherwise has an agenda or a lack of football understanding. We were struggling to get a grip of the game but as soon as they saw how quick he was their left-back tried to kick him out of the game and got sent off, then they were absolutely hanging on for the draw.
His pace would worry any defence in the world if used correctly, but we’ve barely used it. He seems to want to drop off the full-back, take a pass and run at the full-back. He should be playing from the left touchline making diagonal runs in behind the centre backs and doing it constantly. Whether it’s an early ball out of defence or a slide rule pass from midfield we should be able to find him consistently and no one will catch him – then he should have a one on one on his left foot in the box.
If we’re going to get out of the shit and stay up this season we need to start getting the most out of this lad because his pace is the only game-changing ability we have as a team this side of the transfer window.
Think it says a lot about the agenda people have over this lad that he didn't get his own thread until pretty much a day after the game despite him running Millwall ragged and doing more than anyone in the second half to help us win the game.

I think that we bought potential at a Premier league price. A price that as Town fans we expect a more finished article. We normally associate 250k-750k as more speculative punts. So 8m kind of sticks in the throat a bit. That's not his fault, but it will inevitably be in people's minds when they watch him being out performed by players who cost a fraction. The thing to remember, is he does have massive potential. If he can improve his positional sense. I would prefer to see him on the left myself. I remember him tearing Liverpool a new one a couple of times playing on that side in a short cameo last season. But he does need to start trusting his right foot more, regardless. So from now on, I'm personally going to view him as young player with potential and forget about his price tag. He has had a chaotic start to his short town career. He is on his 3rd (technically 4th) manager. In interviews he appears to be shy and not have the best grasp of English. He needs time and support and I hope Town gives it him. So show a little love people. You never know it may make you feel better. And if our support helps bring this lad through. We could have one hell of a player in our team. Absolutely. Sometimes we forget the human element don't we.

I look forward to digging this reply up in 3 months time when Diakhaby is ripping Championship defences a new one !
Am i supposed to put something about showing my arse in some shop window now No you just keep justifying your comments in an increasingly ridiculous way and throw in some ridiculous lifestyle info. That's how it normally works.

Scarily I think Pritchard is probably our only player with genuine quality at this level unless Terence decides to start playing again. Campbell, Grant, Simpson, Schindler all have potential to be top end Championship quality, scary how far this squad has deteriorated especially when you consider its value on paper. I think Pritchard will benefit from being able to link up with Campbell.

I’d love to think Diakhaby will be the next great thing at Town, but he won’t. His plus points are: He’s quick He’s quick and... He’s quick. You can bring him on for 25 minutes and he may have some joy against tired and/or slow defenders but he does little defensive work, doesn’t really understand when and where to make runs or offer himself for a 1-2 and doesn’t have very good ball control. Better coaching will make some small gains but you have to pick a lot of that stuff up between the age of 8 - 15.

His runs at QPR, Luton and Saturday show he has got a decent touch and isn't just about straight line pace. His positional sense leaves a massive amount to be desired as does his general fitness but everything I've heard from or read about the Cowleys suggest they might just be the pair to bring improvement in those areas. He could be a hell of a player.

repeating other people here but he has qualities, which if coached properly and embedded in the team's tactics, are dangerous at any level. did anyone watch the arsenal home game last season? get him playing like that and we'll be fine

If you’re good, you’re good or at least half decent. Being a professional footballer in the top league and now the 2nd best league, you shouldn’t need a “proper” manager to make you good, you should actually have something about you. I’ve seen absolutely bugger all. Sad state of affairs if he needs to go through 3 or 4 managers to then have one act like his dad. Self motivation playing at the highest level should be bloody easy. I could understand if we were playing him out of position and the waiting for a proper manager, may stand, but he hasn’t even that as an excuse and he’s running out of them. He’s got summat, don’t know what. Pace definitely. He just needs to play football too, it isn’t athletics.
