Hes been one of our best players in recent weeks, even when everyone else is playing badly.
Best moment for me on Saturday was when he passed the ball to Fox, who subsequently miss-passed back to the massives and Diarra screamed at him for f'ing it up.
Never stops yelling and motivating everyone, if he keeps it up, could be player of the season....

Someone will have a good run of form and you'll think they'll run away with the award come the end of the season, they then go on and have a poor bit of form and somebody else comes to the fore, at the moment it could be:
- Alou Diarra... For comments already mentioned
- Patrick Bauer... He started the season really well and for the moment when he dislocated his finger against Hull
- Stephen Henderson... If he wins us a lot of points again
- Johann Gudmundsson... If he goes on a run and plays like he did Saturday
- Johnnie Jackson... For his trademark goals (I'd almost like to see him get it, simply for his Service over the years)
Finally I think there could be a bit of a dark horse at the moment in Reza Ghoochanniejad... On Saturday he showed he had the work-rate of a Midfielder with the positional sense and the finish of a Striker, he could become an important player if he stays fit
I thought then if he kept that up he could have a great season....
I noticed last week that Heaton, the Burnley keeper captained the side .. from his perspective he can see the whole field, even better than from the from the managerial bunker/box .. he spent a lot of time moving players around and calling the shots, all this to VERY experienced teammates
When he was missing last season it was no coincidence we had a bad run.
Missed him big time at the beginning of the season he gives confidence to his defence. When pope had a few mishaps you could see it effecting the players.
If he started the season I believe we would at least be mid table maybe higher.
Forever also has a valid point about the amount of games he's missed. Maybe that's why he is still with us as a keeper worth his salt seems to forever present.
Diarra is class though and pleasure to watch, even better maybe with someone creative alongside him ( wishful thinking )
This season though is not a patch on last season. His shooting has been the most disappointing part of his game this season.
Still a fan but needs a good game soon.
