Phew I thought this was going to be a thread about the unfunniest man (after Michael McIntyre and Paddy McEffinguiness) Ricky Gerbilsass

The only time he ever should have been put at RM was against Lincoln. He ripped them a second hole at right-back - but that was it. He was poor in the league. He simply wasn't good enough.

I think he stood out in a pre season friendly v Chesterfield and we signed him. He kept Lowton out the team for a while, who had picked up an injury. I think he was full of endeavour and quite an athlete but susceptible to a mistake. Lowton got back in and proved to be a more polished full back, and Derek never got back in

All he did though was pass sideways. He would tackle and immediately look to the keeper. And he wasn't good enough as a midfielder. I think we got it spot on with letting him go.

Was he our first Post Trippier right back?
I think he set up Vokes away at Leeds in a 1-1 first game of season job?

Probably his level but deserves the chance after a nasty injury, good luck to him.

He was class in div 1 with Chesterfield. Him, clucas and morsy looked as though they were playing at too low a level.

He played really well against us in the pre-season game when Chesterfield beat us. A few days later Matt Lowton, who had just signed, picked up an injury at Fleetwood. Because it wasn't going to be just a week or two, we moved for Darikwa. We signed him during the time Frank McParland was with us and it was McParland who took him to Forest.

At the time there were big hopes for Cameron Dummigan but he'd missed quite a bit of the previous season having had surgery. Dyche admitted that but for that injury he wouldn't have signed Darikwa. Who knows what might have happened had Dummigan been given his chance.

Personally, I thought he was costing us. He played his last league game at Middlesbrough just before Christmas after which Lowton came in. Maybe the Championship was just a step too far for him.

It’s easy to see why he would leaf.

I didn’t think he was the answer, but a good honest pro

Would agree with that. I was never a fan of Darikwa - he always seemed so indecisive and lacked quality. Maybe it was difficult following Trippier but Lowton was much much better when he got fit.

Darikwa actually did OK for us despite looking awful. His defending was very poor but his athleticism meant he wasn't caught out as often as you would have expected.

He did alright for Forest until his injury.

I agree I thought that our coaches could have improved some aspects Darikwa lacked as that's why we signed him in the first place.

Still water under the bridge now I suspect.
