Deserves some credit today. Played pretty well, had a few good touches, and played a big part in Beto's goal.

Probably his best performance of the season, and looked like he might be useful for the rest of the season if he's got out of whatever it was that seemed to hold him back so much this season so far.

Still painfully slow like, and still doing that weird head nod when he starts a 'sprint' but fair play to him.

I’d rather Dibbo got his minutes.

Hit and miss for me. Considering he's only got a left foot, it baffles he's playing on the right. He has to switch inside, which makes him easier to mark

Much more like it tonight. Still hate him on the right, but appreciate it's to accommodate Ndiaye, and good to see his confidence returning.

So good last night.

I did well up when he came off to the cheers. Made up for him.

He looked a different player last night. There were a few occasions where he took players on and beat them, just with some quick feet and clever movement - stuff that he'd shown glimpses of during his good runs in past seasons but which we haven't seen for ages.

Just his overall energy levels seemed to be so much better too, he was still putting a shift in before he came off to that deserved ovation.

Don't know what's gone on, but great that he built on that initial encouraging return on Saturday and turned it in to a proper good performance last night.

Hope he continues in this form for the rest of the season, it'll benefit everyone... I still think we'll move him on on the summer, but it helps retain his value and will keep premier league teams interested in him.

Be great if he could go out on a high rather than how it'd have been if he left in Jan after a really poor season.

He played 'okay', but he should do that. We've seen him do that many times, then stink the gaff out. I still think he needs moving on at the end of season.

Don't think anyone is saying keep him around but we need to acknowledge he did better than ok last night. He had a very good game, he's been awful this season but it's ok to highlight a performance
