2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[maccavennie]

Baffles me sometimes when managers don’t make simple subs like this. Would have kept him involved and given him some minutes in a game that’s won - makes a pointless JOB sub instead.

Yep, a poor sub choice imo that mate.

The manager could have give the lad a few minutes after Keane scored.

At 2-0 with ten minutes, even 5 minutes to go, the game isn't won

At 3-0, maybe

Not sure it's worth throwing him on for the last few plays. Give him a bit longer to grow into and affect a game

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see him get more game time - especially given how quickly Ndiyae tires from around 60 mins (and often switches off defensively as a result) - but I understand why you wouldn't today.

Was vital we secured that win

What does this attitude say about Dibling though? It seems Moyes shares your view, but if he's not good enough to play 10 minutes as a like for like sub when you're 2 up at home, something is badly wrong there for me. Bringing him on wouldn't have been throwing caution to the wind, it's just swapping a tiring RW for a fresh one.

Today I don't think it was the attitude, just the attributes

Think Moyes wanted to shut up shop so was only interested in defensive substitutes. Perhaps not the circumstances to give someone minutes for the sake of confidence building

Had we been 3 or 4 up, I think he would have given him minutes

 

[LiamMadrid]

He certainly was mate, he didn't like it at all

Moyes also stupidly and smugly commented that Dibbling will have to wait his turn like others before. Nonsense.

 

[Zatara]

I thought once that 2nd went in and Ndiaye looked like he was done, that would have been a perfect time to bring him on and get some minutes.

From mine and the above posters point of view, I was also disappointed with Dibling not coming on.

However, for Moyes mentality, see below:

After the game was won I can understand why Moyes brought O'Brien on over Dibling (and others).

It was a must win game and to be 2-0 up for Moyes he must have been thinking that we had to close shop and hold on for the win.

We've had games before against the likes of Bournemouth where we all thought we would have the 3 points and then...a draw or even a loss with a collapse.

Today, all about the 3 points no matter if any other players could have been given minutes.

Yeah I agree, I'm still scarred enough by Bournemouth last season to not be arsed about attackers being given minutes in a situation like that. Especially with added time to be determined. They score with a bit of time on the clock and he gets hammered for bringing on Dibling rather than shoring things up.

 

[Neiler]

You'd wonder how we scouted him for such an inflated fee. For that sort of money you'd expect a player who's going to make some sort of impression.

That’s the problem with expectations mate everyone has different ones.

Perhaps what is happening is exactly what was expected by the club!

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I don’t think it’s a statement about Dibling. He’s probably a decent enough RW. Problem is, Ndiaye is a better RW. It’ll be very tough for Dibling to see the pitch any time before players leave for the African tournament. That’s when I suspect we’ll see much more of Rohl and Dibling. Maybe that was the whole idea of fighting so hard to get him in the transfer window. It was insurance for when Ndiaye would be out. Same with Rohl and Gana. Just a hunch.

This scenario is rarer than rocking horse poop

When will be the correct time to move on from thinking about the likes of what happened against Bournemouth? That was over a year ago mate!

Every game should be about the three points. It won’t be doing the lad much good just sitting on the bench and he may or may not be be not settled in the North West yet.

The longer it goes on the more fans start to question things as well which doesn’t do anyone any good.

We payed a lot of money for him and being how mediocre we have been we are currently in no position for project kind of players if this is how things turn out.

 

[ElGato]

Well, yes. Although today we could have been

Like I say, I'd like Moyes to throw him on earlier for Ndiyae, who has a habit of tiring after 60 mins and then completely switching off defensively

But today I don't think giving him ten mins would have helped anyone

Agreed mate.

You'd hope that wasn't the expectation. The fact he didn't get ten minutes at least today is a worry.
