I was chuffed to bits with the reception for Dichio-to hear his name echo round the ground must have been music to his ears after the stick he's had. hang your heads in shame those who booed him onto the pitch previously!!!!!
I don't know what Simpson's got, but it seems that he gets the very best out of players-I've never seen Dichio run so much! Confidence is everything.

What a performance tonight, fantastic.

No different from what he was doing most of the away games i saw him play last season then!

The difference is not so much in dichio's play but in the team mindset under Simpson. Last year is was "Do not lose" - hence the overcautious midfield possession play and 20 draws. Dichio was more often receiving the ball back to goal nearer the centre circle than the opposition box, hence his work was not productive wrt goals.

Now we have the mindset of 3 points from every game and are playing higher up the pitch, we are more adventurous in midfield and are delivering quality ball into areas where dichio is himself dangerous or where his layoffs result more often in chances for other strikers or advancing midfield players.

I said to my friend, whilst at the match last night, that Dichio has certainly come into his own now...he has been brilliant these last few matches and I can't believe, if I am honest, what I am seeing 😱 😀 That sounds awful and I'm sorry, though I was never one to boo Dichio I just didn't see him being any good consistently, yes the odd away game but that was it. How he's proved me wrong and I am so glad because he is a lovely, genuine fella and he deserves it.
 
Re: Dichio

For those who have watched him closely it has always been evident that Dichio has a lot of class - remember he has played at the highest level in both England and Italy. Obviously he lacks pace and he probably lost a bit of self-belief during his goal drought. But now that he finally started scoring it is difficult to see where he will stop. With Nugent, Dichio, Ormerod and Agyemang, never mind Mellor for the moment, our attacking resources are as strong as I can ever remember them - when did we last have four strikers with strong claims to be first choice selections. This season is really looking like the one when we could go all the way.
 
Re: Dichio

I am also extremly chuffed for big dan, he had some games of promise last year but as was said previously, no consistency week in week out. it is still disappointing to see some fans (ie the bald headed moron who sits in front of me) who jump straight on his back at the first mis-placed pass or unsuccessful flick on. makes me really angry to hear him shout donkey when 5 minutes before he has scored a goal as good as the goal he scored last night
 
Re: Dichio

its also a shock to me....last season,despite the effort he was putting in,his lay offs were naff,he couldnt finish,he didnt win many headers and looked very unmobile....this year,he looks strong and fit,wins headers in defence and attack and his link up play has been outstanding...am proper chuffed for the guy as he's never slacked or let his head drop.......true pro!!!!
 
Re: Dichio

Was speaking to someone who used to be at QPR youth's when Dichio was their and he was telling me he has a metal rod in his back to make him stand straight or sommet😕

I disagree, it's fascinating! In fact it just proves how crap Dichio really is - with all the quality ball he is receiving, 1 goal a game is just not good enough. Drop the tw*t if he does not get a hat trick in the next game!

I'm glad you've finally come round to my way of thinking on this 😛

But seriously.. always good to be proved wrong about a player and agree with your analysis of the reasons why he has started scoring. There's no doubt he has now assumed cult status at Deepdale.. the fella is going to be a legend for years after he has finished.

P.S. I'll give him 3.
