Rory Delap says Mamady Sidibe will soon come good for Stoke City.
Delap said: "Mama is a bit hard on himself sometimes. You could see the importance of him when he wasn't in the team. Ask any player here and you won't find one person who will be critical of him.
"He is a lovely lad off the pitch and a real handful on it.
"I don't think you will find too many centre-halves looking forward to playing against him. I certainly wouldn't fancy it."
