The Twitter football mob are really after him.
Someone has made a 9 minute video of him kicking people.
I know he was physical when he played for us, but some of these are crazy. All I can think is the Chelsea managers have asked him to do it.
Saying that, I’d still take him back on loan

Think you're right - someone's flipped a switch on him, as I saw a separate 8 min video on him last night. I stupidly watched most of it and he doesn't come out of it well. A bit of coward actually - most of the incidents are him catching / raking / pushing defenders after the ball's gone and they're not watching. |  |

Half of that video is his opponents going down like they’ve been shot.
Whoever made that video is a half-wit. |  | | |

Oh 100%
It does highlight how soft the game has become | |

A lot of those are from when he was here as well 
I do think a lot of them are soft, defenders go down so easily.
Some would say he’s just an old fashioned striker. |  |

It's amazing how when you heavily edit something you can paint a particular picture with it. It's equally amazing that grown adults seemingly can't work this out. |  |

He spent the second half of the season with us doing that, so it’s not a Chelsea thing.
No point having him back (if it’s even a consideration) if that’s all he’s going to do. |  |

Maybe he stands out because there’s not many about anymore. Half the defenders can’t wait to go down
Like I said, I’d still take him on loan. | |

This vid is like 1 bad foul for every 4 defenders going down squealing. |  |

So he doesn’t commit needless fouls nearly every time he plays then? That video could’ve probably been double the length.
More yellow cards (9) than goals (3) this season (All comps - inc CWC) (1 red card also)
Equal last season 12 and 12. | |

No it doesn’t.
It simply highlights that if someone has the necessary skills and time they can make every player look like a thug/rubbish/amazing/soft. [Post edited 28 May 17:06]

blue tinted specs aplenty on this thread. I don't like players who dish out afters when the other guy isn't looking. | |

Also shows what a bunch of drama queens modern day defenders are. |  |

Would have him back in a heartbeat btw. | |

Football is cyclical.
It's been a while since defenders have had to cope with a forward who is happy to 'dish it out. Over recent years defenders have been used to playing with the play in front of them and centre forwards who are technical, not physical.
As we have seen with long throws, set pieces etc. this season. I have no doubt that we are going to see a return to a more physical game. I'd go as far as to say that I won't be surprised to see 2 up top come back (a target man/thug and a wee man/ speedy playing of him).
Also, in regards to Delap - this is actually one of the reasons he stands out from other strikers - he'd be silly not to take advantage of his style and physicality.
Is it too much at times.....yep, for sure. I love it though. |  |

He's physical and some of the fouls he commits are on the silly side but he's hardly some massive thug. | |

Great vid, really enjoy watching an old fashioned centre forward put himself about. Desperately hope he comes back here. |  |

He does some very silly stuff on the pitch sometimes but he's young still, get him back, give him some love and see if he can score goals for us again. |  |

Did he?
Doesn’t feel that way.
Feels like he scored three-quarters of his goals before the new year.
Edit: Just fact-checked my self. Game 20 (so the start of the second half of the season), was Fulham (a). Including that game, Delap scored five goals between then and the end of the season.
And therefore, before that 7 in the first 19 games.

Quite a few go down clutching their heads when he hasn't clouted them anywhere near their head.
Mind you , he is bloomin' reckless at times. |  | | |

He is a flat track bully though. We overlook it because he was our flat track bully! |  |

Quite possibly, but when you do something like he did in the last PL game here against WHU and just push a defender strongly in the back and to the ground for no good reason, as LD was getting nowhere near the ball, you tend to make a rod for your own back. I have no problem with a striker letting defenders know he's around, but it pays to have your brain in gear when you do it. |  | | |

Tell that to the bloke with the broken jaw. Should have been straight red. | |
