Intersting to see Schindler after the second goal, made a big thing of congratulating AD.

Maybe Josh can spot a player after all

I’ve just watched the highlights again,and the part he plays in the second goal is wing play at its finest.Nutmegs defender,skins another one for pace,and then puts it on a plate for Bacuna. Champers said earlier in the thread ‘frightening’ and that is exactly right.

Getting a defensive right back in in Simpson has been the best bit of business we’ve done (apart from appointing the Cowleys) this year. The balance that 1 player has made is remarkable

A winger with pace is one thing. A winger with pace who can play head up and pick players out is a whole different proposition.

Every time he got the ball yesterday I got a bit of movement in my pants.

He made a fairly tricky finish look very simple.

Thought he was nearly unplayable 2nd half. His crossing was poor though hardly any height or got past 1st defender, but when we started getting players supporting him nearer he looked so much better when he was able to play simple balls. Simpson’s role can’t be underestimated at all. His defensive positioning allows AD to express himself going forward. If he continues his improvement it’ll be one of the best bits of 1 to 1 coaching I’ve ever seen.

I not sure what some of us that've always rated him and Mbenza ever saw in them 🤔😁 If and when he delivers 20 performances like sat then you can come back and say "I told you so"!!! For 25m+ (and it is!) him and mbenza have to do more and continue to do more to justify that cost but sat was a really good start..............lets just hope it stays that way!

He has improved in the last few games but there’s still plenty of room for more improvement. When he chips in with a goal or two like wingers of the past then he might start getting anywhere near his transfer fee/ wages.

When he does that you’ll come back and say “yeah OK but you can say “I told you so” when he’s played 20 times for France”...and then when he’s played 20 times for France...etc etc😉

Diakhaby has nothing to do with Mbenza's transfer fee, or even his own. what matters is that he's playing well and winning us games, which he is.

I think we need to move on. Let's assume Town have paid £25m for them as you say. Let's assume they are now worth £5m. That £20m is spilt milk and there's no point bleating about it!! Let's just hope we've got some players who can move us forward in the Championship. And with a bit of luck, they'll be worth £10m this time next year.

Whatever we paid for them it isn't their fault. I'm no expert but players don't put the transfer value on themselves and decide which club is going to pay it.

Based on what I've seen and what hes delivered not because I've got an agenda against him. I hope he proves to be the best player I've ever seen at town - if he is I will say so.....but some have him down as a star now though after 1 bloody good game, not a consistent season a la mooy, schindler. That's all I'm saying.

Up to last sat they were very similar imo....2 very expensive misfits both signed for their main strength.. pace. Diakhaby has shown some seeds of promise.....many incl me hope isaac joins him. At this moment though I remain to be convinced.

At this moment though I remain to be convinced. They weren't signed as a pair.. They are both black and foreign, and play on the wing. But they are individuals in their own right.. I'm not sure I've heard of two other players lumped together like this, barring maybe Eaves and Eastoe who signed on loan on the same day from the west Midlands and were very similar... Diakhaby was my MOM on Saturday and is showing some level of commitment and endeavour. Mbenza isn't.. So why does. Diakhaby have to carry this "and mbenza" bollocks round with him? I'm not sure I've heard Ince and... Pritchard and... Flo and...Mounie and... Etc etc... I won't use the R word. But let's just say its very lazy IMO

That's all I'm saying. No you're wrong. Some people spotted the potential in him from the start, potential that was realised on Saturday. Diakhaby (and Mbenza) have been a lightning rod for so much frustration at the relegation and those that defended him have been rinsed on here - now it turns out that they were in fact right and you amongst many others on here have been proven to be wrong. Seem to recall you saying that he's an athlete and not a footballer, still think that? Yes he needs to do it consistently but what's to say he won't? Why not just enjoy the moment and admit that you were wrong and he actually has the potential to be a very good footballer, rather than give him some sort of extremely qualified and begrudging praise, bring up his price tag and tell him to do it 20 times before he's worthy of your praise? When's the last time you've seen a Town winger rinse a full back and win us a match like Diakhaby did on Saturday? Isn't that what people go to football to watch? Isn't that the whole point of spending all this time and money to follow a football team? For some people it seems trying to be proven right, or not be proven wrong, is more important than enjoying things for what they are. It all comes across a bit small minded and pathetic if I'm honest. And that's without wondering why it's Mbenza and Diakhaby, rather than for example Pritchard, Sobhi, Depoitre, that get so much stick on here. They even get spoken about as though they are one strange amorphous person sucking money out of the club. Quite disgraceful way to treat a couple of young lads really.
