I like what I see of this lad. He gets the ball, turns and always always positive and looking to move forwards. A breath of fresh air in this dire team. How is he not in this team from the start?

Needs a run of games to really get into his stride but he's definitely the most exciting player we've got in squad.
Getting him on the half turn running at the defence regularly will cause havoc.

MF doesn't want to start him as he can lose the ball quite frequently by being positive. He would rather put players like High in who will never make it at this level but can pass it sideways and backwards

The lad played well today but on his runs forward on at least one occasion he gave the ball away and QPR broke forward. Not in any way saying that his contribution was poor but at the moment our number 1 priority has to make sure we keep it tight at the back.

I think he’s better coming or the bench at the moment. Fresh legs to impact the game. When he’s started games he’s not really impacted them
Remember the plan was to loan him to a League 1 side this season, but then he got injured so it didn’t happen. Just not quite ready to be starting Championship matches yet.

Diarra was atleased trying to be positive when he lost the ball, what excuse did they have?

He’s absolutely class, but he’s getting very little chance to show it at the moment. This is exactly why Fotheringham needs to be replaced. His team selection can be dire, he has gems like Diarra on the bench or worse.

Yep said similar ages ago, even though not everything he does comes off he puts opposition on the back foot, hes direct and has good ball control, he only has one gear and its not reverse.

Forward attacking players are always going to give the ball away at times. It’s the nature of their position. The argument that we need to keep it tight at the back is true except we don’t even seem to be very good at that. So in that case why not say if we concede 1 we will score 2 etc and play the lads like Diarra to achieve that. Might be a rollercoaster though!

I’d bring him off the bench when we need a goal (Ie most weeks). He at least tries to be positive and make something happen. What was the worse that would have happened the other day when we went 1-0 down?
Rudoni’s shocking corners in the second half yesterday were more a danger to us than Diarra giving it away, yet he kept taking them (with the same result).

Rudoni,s early corners were fine but he had thee bad ones on the bounce .I like Diarrs but the problem he has like so many is the final ball wastage.Just doesn’t know when and where when it really matters- so far

Rather lose the ball as far up the pitch as possible. Diarra is raw and it will happen a lot but he runs at the oppositions goal with the ball and with some support he might be more successful. We pass or hold the ball too much, too often and for too long. Have to have a couple of lads doing something different.

At hull he was appalling. But the kids defo got talent

Probably a case of we aren't playing a system he really fits into.
Probably needs to be in a 10 role really, with Hogg/camara and Kassumu playing 6 and 8.
Fozza wants to play 433 and I don't see him as one of either 3, unless he plays right of the front 3.
4231, he plays in the middle of the 3 for me, everytime.
Fozza needs to look at his squad, write down his best 11 players and find a system that works and has them in their best positions, as it stands we have jacko, camara and diarra not playing, when I'd argue they are probably one of the best 11 players.
Not sure on my order to be fair, but these 15 are probably the best 15 for me.
1.Knockhart 2.Helik 3.Hogg 4.Camara 5.Kassumu 6.Turton 7.Hungbo 8.Jackson 9.Lees 10.Diarra 11. Keeper 12. Waghorn 13. Pearson 14. Rudoni 15. Rhodes.
They should be the only options considered to start matches going forward, with a small amount of rotation as required.

I'm not a fan. I'll support him but I think he's thick as 2 short planks.

Diarra needs a decent coach and a mentor to try and get the best out of him. Unfortunately we're a bit short of decent coaches in the first team and Nabby Sarr was the guy the French lads looked to last season. Hopefully one of the "Dads's Army" group has taken on the mentoring role.

Why bring him on? Seriously we go balls out with two young kids while defending a priceless single goal lead, but don’t even change it up when we are chasing the game against Coventry. It’s beyond bizarre.

As you say, he has talent, so with right coaching he could become a real asset to us.

Diarra's crimne is trying to be positive. It worked at Preston and he almost won us the game on Saturday. At 19 he'll have good games and some not so good, but I hope we keep throwing him into the mix. He won't learn owt sat on his arse.

He won't learn owt sat on his arse. unfortunately I'm not sure he'll learn a great deal on the pitch or on the training ground with Buzz in charge. Still a way to go for him yet, his decision making has previously stood out as poor even in youth games. He'll become a very good player with the right coaching

He lost the ball again last night which very nearly cost us a goal. Fotheringham's fault.
