I am surprised no one else has mentioned this.
It was clear to see the effect Dichio had when he came on, it was not a positive one, it was a complete negative one as per usual he has a shocking game and does not contribute anything. Playing with this guy up front is just dangerous.
Playing with Dichio up front is always going to give the other team more options to attack. He can't close down their defenders when they are on the ball, he cant chase down balls that are a metre either side of him as he just cant turn, run fast enough. I am struggling to remember a professional footballer that is slower than dichio. Not only that, his famous flick ons, nothing ever comes of them. They just simply give the ball back to defenders and invites more pressure. Not only that (again), half of the time he does not even win a header. He should take a long hard look at Steve Howard last week. He won every header.
Yes ok, he was forced to come on after aggy's injury, but it is worrying that he has lasted so long at this club and that some fans are happy to see him in the team. We are hoping for play-offs this season (at a push after everything that has gone on this season) yet i very much doubt he would get into any other club's team in our league, probably even the league below as well.
Cracking first half last night, terrible second.
Just my opinion
