DJ

Post by The Reverend »

Is it time to have a little discussion about Diallang Jaiyesimi? His shot yesterday - which was so bad it cleared the South Stand roof - was the moment I made my final conclusion about this guy: he’s naff.

Given enough chances but he’s simply not good enough for this level. To seriously push for play offs you need a bench of players who can come on and make an impact. This bloke is just a last resort when the attacking players on the pitch are knackered.

Be honest, none of you have ever thought “brilliant DJ is coming on, we’re going to seriously up our threat levels now”.

He’s still in contract but get rid in the summer if possible. A contender for the 2024/25 Frank Nouble award.

Being kind he's useful in a Tehoué esque role to bundle at defenders and make something happen by sheer physical presence alone. Definitely not a starter and like a few of our players hasn't managed to get fully match fit all season.

That award is going to be renamed after Hemming as it's going to be hard to find a worse signing from here on in

Dunno if it’s his natural body shape but he’s looked overweight all season. Work rate doesn’t seem to be there. Shown glimpses of quality.

Your memory must be failing you . Frank Nouble was so bad Hemming doesn't even come close to him .

His ‘shot’ reminded me of a certain ‘Nigel Gray Back Pass’ a long, long time ago. That’s why we built a wall at the back of the South Terrace.

It’s fair to say that Hemming probably carried more goal threat than Nouble :x

Nouble was bad but didn't directly throw away 6-12 points like the calamity keeper did

I still feel there is a player there, can RW bring that out?
DJ certainly is tricky on the ball, I quite like him.

He has good close control and is hard to be dispossessed, the problem is what does with the ball after that. There could definitely be a player in there but maybe needs some specialist coaching or something

We replaced 1 fat bloke with good close control and low work rate with another. He’s not very good.

Has some worthwhile attributes but drifts out of the game far too frequently. His signing is not a gamble that has paid dividends imho.

At least the previous one would pop up with pivotal goals now and then

Such a strange signing, don't think he is a League One player, probably on okay wages as Charlton don't pay shirt buttons

In the league 25 games, 1 goal, 1 assist, 2 yellow cards

Might be 25 appearances, but total minutes is 594, ie for many matches it’s just been a brief cameo appearance.

DJ does try but he’s basically useless
I don’t understand why RW is persisting with him in the starting line up

Thought that the game he looked most composed and dangerous in was the Man City game, although could be a case that they'd never seen a player like him before. He very rarely gives the ball away, but he even more rarely does anything positive with it.

I think he's fine as a lump to bring on to hold onto a lead, and be played irregularly like he has been - but he's not a player you'd want if you seriously wanted to fight for promotion.

Seems a decent lad though, so that always helps.

True. Looked a class apart in his first 6 months at the club too

Yeah, meant to say this before - he really excelled himself that day (as they all did tbf).

I believe that he is only a bit part player which means if we had a fully fit team he wounded get a game end of not good enough tibwear the red and whites
