Seems today we have moved on from Dibling to Johnson. Wonder who will be next?

Dibling should of started today, did well in the week and showed again today he's now ready for a run in the team, will do his confidence a lot of good.

He's got to start the next game. Give the kid a chance to get some minutes under his belt, learn from playing regularly.
I was on the fence about him but this season he's showed there's a talent in there.
Be interesting to see how he does against top level full backs but it's a good foundation to build on.
I would drop Johnson, use him as an impact player and start Diblibg. Basically swap roles.
That's the beauty of competition for places.
Johnson will need to improve if he wants his spot back.

I was one of his biggest critics last season but fair play, he's absolutely sat me down on that. Watching him on Wednesday night was a real eye opener and that recovery tackle after sprinting half the pitch was a huge moment and had the crowd on their feet. Happy to be wrong and made up for the young lad.

I am in the same boat Ace. I've not been his biggest fan but felt he has really stepped up this season (so far) . Thought his cross for KDH's header yesterday was pinpoint - shame the header wasn't on target or he'd have had an assist for sure.
Really hope he can get a few goals this season and set up some others.

He's a young man who has bags of quality and just needs time to settle. I had people taking the mick when I said he was like a young Grealish, but stick by that. As I said at the time watch Grealish early years at Villa. The lad is going to be class we just need to be patient.
