Diabate was fantastic. Pace, power, intelligence - the lot. Looking forward to seeing him play a proper side.

I think that's probably the best debut performance I've seen from a new signing, even if it was only posh.

[Corky]

Apart from the first 15/20 of the second half, it was an excellent, professional performance. Some superb goals, 5-1 was probably a little harsh on them but very ruthless at the end.

 

Several worlds away from Fleetwood. Diabate, Iheanacho can both pat themselves on the back today.

[Webbo]

5 goals all by Africans (Diabate is from Africa isn't he?)

[HybridFox]

Well how about that

[KingsX]

We more than took care of business despite massive rotation.  Great positives to take away regarding the depth of our strike force (later, Slim).  But also some teachable moments for Claude to address.

 

It turned to garbage time at 31’.  Once our wingers figured they could always got a shot off on these, football became target practice.  But “can” doesn't mean “should”!

[Guest]

Well I guess that conceeded goal was an upset.

[hejammy]

Even after the ball went into the back of the net Gray was pissed off cause he didn't score, not great signs for being a team player really...

In fairness it was probably based on the Fleetwood performance so that was probably the basis for such comments.

 

This performance was light years ahead of Fleetwood game.

[the fox]

yeah, diabate over gray any day of the week!

[oadby.fox]

Great for Kelechi to score again and thought Barnes, Kelechi, Gray and Diabate linked up well throughout the game.

 

Diabate had a great match - feels great to have a new forward signing and doing so well on his debut. He looks like he can play lets hope he can do it consistently for us!

[Col city fan]

Puel was superb there in terms of his subs. 

Diabetes hit the sweet spot.

And Amartey being dropped clearly made all the difference....

No it wasnt. Could and should have been much more.

Malian I think.

[Scotch]

Diabate was impressive. Granted it was Peterborough but what I liked about him is he always looked to play the pass. Wanted to be part of the build up. Hope he kicks on. 

 

Ian Nacho again is starting to look the player we signed. 

 

Gray pissed me off massively. I' a fan but he was greedy on the ball yet was constantly throwing his arms around when he didn' het the pass. 

[StriderHiryu]

Diabate 2 goals, 1 assist on his debut. Looked brilliant and like a real honest player. Worked hard, passed to his teammates, etc.

 

Clinical from Nacho too. That second he scored was a top goal after a fantastic Fuchs cross.

Not sure that we have a weaked side at the club. Benny excepted of course. 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

No banana skin then but some caviar football at times (apart from start of the second half) despite the level of the opposition. You can only beat what's in front of you. Great debut by Diabate with two good goals, nice brace too from Kelechi and finishing touch by Wilf.
