...and while his goalscoring record is hardly that of a Torres or a Ronaldo, I do think it's worth considering that results and performance when he's not playing tend to be worse.
Most importantly, there was nowhere for him to hide last night. There wasn't an option for him to think "Oh, I'm the guy who knocks it down/holds it up for others" - he was the main man, put on the spot and he delivered. No he will never be a Premiership player, but he did the job last night and if he's delivers in the clutch then he's alright by me.
Please don't kill me

My first thought on team selection was OMFG!!!! Then in my rate Pulis thread I said that the Manager does exactly what he thinks regardless of what all us terrace managers think. Well done Mama, I am certainly not your biggest fan but important goal all the same.

The sooner people become acustomed to the fact that Mama will play every game of the season, the better.. if fit! ... so he doesnt get us 10-15 goals a season, but he's been in the team ALL season & look where we are!! Why change it now..? I personally believe that if Mama werent to play or if he was to be subbed in a game, we loose impetus, not from our forwards, but from the back & midfield in which they look for Mama as an outlet, an easy target in difficult circumstances.....
be all & end all, dont leave Mama out Tone, If it aint broke, dont fix it!!!!!

Meirmrmander agreed. People hate him and i still don't know why? Ok like you say he doesnt score many goals but everything else his sound i would go as far as to stick my head out and say if mama scored 15 + a season he would not be playing for Stoke.

BJR he would indeed be Prem standard and I still think that TP believes he has it in him somewhere. As TP said last night defenders hate him because he is so very physical and weard defenders down. Lets hope he is on a mini scoring spree ;D

well it appears that were stroking each others cocks at such an eary time of the day - but yeah, in a way we should be thankful that he has the strike rate of a 3 yr old with a shitty nappy....

he just brings a lot more than some people who have 'he should score every game he's a forward' blinkers on actually see. God if i had a tacics board i'd show them. Anyway got to leave this mama loving to do some work bye for now.

Sorry guy's I know you won't like this and I know I will get called a wanker, cock etc BUT I don't give a feck what people say, Mama is SHIT end of.
His goal yesterday was a fluke he was trying to flick it on, fair enough he was in the right place at the time etc, but he is feckin shite he did fuck all for the rest of the match and we looked better and more dangerous when Fuller came on.
But I have to agree with baggz if he scores a few more vital goals (fluke or not) before the end of the season he's alright with me... But still shit ha ha ;D ;D

I have not seen it for a while, but its raised a smile to see the old "if he could score he would be in the prem" bollocks. Utter, utter shite.
He is a toss footballer, but he serves a purpose (for TP). Just face it. You may like him for his attitude & running, fine - but do not try to make out to anyone with eyes that he is any way good at football. I challenge you to watch him for the entirety of the next game and mark him for all the positive & negative contributions he makes & I make you a promise that if you judge him fairly with no donkey-blinkers on he will end up with a negative score. His control, passing, heading & shooting is all wank. He doesnt even rough defenders up or intimidate them.
I am resigned to the fact that as long as Tone holds Coates' cock in his hand, Sidibe will play - and I come to every match hoping he plays well, but the plain truth is there for all to see.
