Noone & Dikgacoi

It's a shame that both featured for the Development team tonight.

I know both need game time but I would have liked them to play some part against Boro. We have missed Noone so far and could do with his width on the pitch.

I only seen the highlights but the away game he started in he did look chunky. It's a concern.

I wondered what happened to KG

I warned you when you signed him he will turn up pre season a real bloater, did it every year with us.

Shame because a couple of years ago he was a box to box player but last season he was so sluggish he hardly ran at all.

Unfortunately Dikgacoi looked a slug at Fulham. He looked like a submarine turning, was unable to cover ground to close players down and was unable to track runners jogging past him at will. Even if he does get fit and mobile for us, he's poor retaining possession. Don't know how he lasted with Palace so long. Can we send him back to you please? ;)

Yes his techique is horrible, he cant pass the ball to save his life.

Last season with Pulis we defended really deep and he did a job, he got in the way off the opposition and he's reliable, if a manager asked him to do something he'll do it.

I think we stuck with him because there has always been a belief he can get really fit and go back to being a box to box player, funnilly enough he used to be quite dangerous when he did get forward.

To be honest I probably would take him back as a backup player but probably not as a starter.
