Despite only being on the field for a short while on Saturday afternoon, a number of Nottingham Forest fans were furious with what they saw from Adama Diakhaby’s little cameo against West Bromwich Albion.
The on-loan Huddersfield Town attacker came on in the 69th minute and appeared to play a role in helping the Tricky Trees take a point against the Baggies, with the Nottinghamshire Live handing him a match rating of 6/10 as he “helped out defensively”.
Indeed, the 23-year-old was also given a similar score by WhoScored (6.31), although their data did not show that he had made a single contribution defensively, whilst his overall stats did not make for pretty reading either.
Diakhaby managed just 10 touches of the ball and won three aerial duels but failed to do much else, which seemed to infuriate plenty of the Nottingham Forest faithful on Twitter.
In fact, plenty of them slammed the attacker’s footballing abilities, with some questioning how he made it as a professional, whilst others do not feel he is good enough to be playing for Sabri Lamouchi’s side.
Here are some of their reactions…
#nffc really wish we had something better than Diakhaby and Semedo to bring on….someone like Carvalho

Diakhaby, Da Costa, Jenkinson, Bong, Mir, not good enough by a long way. I'd love to know who has the final say. #nffc

Been poor today. Not seen our passing this bad all season. This incompetent ref has helped. No idea what Diakhaby can actually do!!! But the biggest issue…..all those changes against Charlton!!! #nffc
