Buderus should start IMO, more controlled - allows the forwards to move us up the field. If we bring Diskin on after 30 minutes when the defence is tired we should create some chances.

I picked diskin as m.o.m last night his work rate both in attack and defence was great imo.
Buderus just looks so assured with his passing and running and if the tango t#sspot had played the game properly he would of won at least 4 more penalty's for the markers not being square.
Overall as has been suggested when they get used to each other and with sinny,burrow and webb back we will be a lot more dangerous than last year and cause teams no end of problems.

Buderus showed us generally how to pass quickly & accurately fro dummy half.
Let's hope both Diskin and McShane learn from him.
I thought it was funny when Diskin shoved Buderus out of the way bit like pack animals asserting their dominance.
Trouble was it didn't lead to anything, maybe Buderus should have stood his ground.

The way Buderus read the game last night really impressed me and his runs from dummy half, as Mark said, would have been more successful if the off side markers who got a tackle in had been penalised.

Anyone spot the interesting use of these two by Mclennan in the first half?

Dug out from the Darry Powell coaching archives. He'd done it with Diskin and Mears, and with Diskin and Sheridan.

Its good to have this extra dimension at our disposal again. A lot of people on here were worried for Diskins future when the club announced the signing of Buderus. Good to see them co exist on the field

The small technical differences were really noticable, Buderus' passing off the bottom was very impressive!

What was it doing there? Surely it should have been on the grass... or was Hopoate around? (see bloodbaths avatar)

Diskin's game seems to be based more on runs from dummy half, making the hard yards and engineering openings.

Buderus is more about silky passing, speed and adding that spark.

Haven't decided what I think about two hookers on the field at the same time, but bringing on a fresh Buderus against a tiring defence sounds tasty.
