That we have picked up since Diao went off and Riccy came on. This has to send a message to Pulis that he cant cut the mustard this season and must only be used off the bench.

One can hope though. Dont get me wrong Diao is a quality player when fully fit and firing on all cylinders but he isnt fit yet and probably wont be properly fit till next season.

I think Pulis will carry on playing him as long as it takes until he has a good game, to prove himself correct.
Even though it doesn't exactly prove him correct.

With you there lusty. Diao is a quality player, butunfit he's a passenger and a liabilty. My heart sank when I heard the team. I don't think that TP is helping the rest of the lads by persisting with Salif.
Hate to be too critical as I'm a big TP suppporter, but starting with Diao with Gally on the bench baffles me. Gally Pugh Delap Lawrence would have been my midfield. Still 1-0 will do for now. Let's do it against Watford on Saturday, and we'll be on our way again.

Maybe these few 'run outs' for Diao will prove vital in the last few games as he gets fitter and fitter. I'm sure that's what TP hopes. His steady influence and experience could be vital in midfield in the run in compared to say Whelan and Pugh.

And his steady giving away of the ball all the time.Whelan in next game to show Eustace how much better his replacement is!

Dicko was a rock and committed as ever and for good measure Dicko plays and we keep a clean shett...Again!
Will the penny drop with Pulis that Pugh is not a left-back and Diao aint fit and Pugh is better in the middle,i doubt it!!!
Great result because of obvious changes made with Dicko in and Pugh in midfield.

Squad game and TP knows what his plans are for the run in. If taht means getting Diao fit with 45 minutes here and there and Whelan fit,refreshed and raring to go then that'll do for me.
