    good lad to have around but he ain't big enough for the current manager. i called it a long time ago. i said noble may survive with his battling qualities but craft and guile amongst the whu yoof will be kicked to the kerb with toady. would he make it under a FOOTBALL manager? dunno but we won't find out will we, unless we get a FOOTBALL manager and not a percentage over-paid stopball merchant

    Never been the same player since his big injury. Great shame because he looked to have a massive future with us.

    Probably a Championship player in all honesty.

    Don't agree with this. There is a spare slot in midfield for a player like him but, bottom line, Allardyce has obviously decided he's not good enough - I agree with that.

    You shouldn't confuse how Collison used to be with the player he is now, post injury. Night and Day for me. Very little guile there now, just a willingness to run. He doesn't like a tackle much these days either.

    Shame

    If your post was about Morrison I might have agreed.

    Shame to say that he is struggling to find his best position.

    Sam doesn't have a great deal of time for him as he has Taylor doing a similar job!!

    Diame is more attack minded, and stronger. Nolan is first on the team sheet. So not a lot of scope left really.

    If the club want to unload him on a permanent basis then the fee will be the talking point.

    His injury has had a massive detrimental effect on his career, I also think recovering to fitness and returning with Sam at the helm has not helped either.

    Diame has been pretty sh1t this season, would rather see Jack given a go. Diame maybe stronger red, but that doesn't stop him from losing the ball all over the pitch.
