A little break in play and Corberan is coaching Dike on what to do. This manager is the business.

Saying Okay Yokuslu getting treatment....hope he is not to bad....get up!!

[Barrera]

Dike has been poor first half … no real threat

[Bombers right foot]

Great first half but Dike, getting worse with every game

[boingy]

Albrighton has done ok, Andy Johnstone makes him sound like Messi in the commentary. He's a good player though and Wallace has been MOTM for me again so far, closely followed by Yokuslu. Great team performance. So many good performances.

Bad news if rumours are true about Palmer but we are playing well and so far our defence is managing to protect Button. Must say its a vast improvement from Bristol game! Diangana having the best game I've seen him have for a long while and Albrighton is already showing his quality (think we may well need to push for more than a season long loan for him). Only disappointment is Dike. He needs to start showing far more of the fight and energy he did in the last minute of the first half when he got the ball to send Diangana on his way otherwise, like others, I think Asante may be a better option as he puts himself about so much more.

sub Asante for Dike

[boingy]

Asante's been on two minutes and already looks more dangerous than Dike.

[Dubbag]

What Dike needs now is for Asante to score and give him a bit more to think about....
Good crowd tonight....24,719, apparently the third highest this season.
