[Football] Bong knockers

[dazzer6666]

My view in Bong is that he is just about good enough. Just about. We will need to upgrade him at some point if we want to keep progressing. Starting to think the same about March as well.

I think we're more in need of a change at no 10 (or get Pascal back) than replacing Bong. March has been largely ineffective - appears to have little confidence (although he started well on Saturday, he soon faded).

March was better on Sat, but I am still at a loss as to why Ali J doesn't fill-in at number 10 instead, thereby allowing Knocky and Jose to work their magic on the wings...

Thought that might happen when CH was going to make substitutions, but alas no

Wolves clearly spotted our defence weakness at left back and just told Docherty to stay high and wide.

That is exactly how Wolves set up to play in EVERY game. Absolutely nothing to do with 'spotting' anything.

we probably are with 25 & 27 shots against us in two games.

As I said each to his own. I think he is a good stopper but not so good at reading the game nor going forward ( I think he was better a couple of years ago on the latter point).

Hughton obvious rates him the best we have and as a stopper he probably is but that does not mean he is as good as people make out.

This is not about some kind of witch hunt its about comment about our football club and how we improve it. There are issues that also need addressing e.g. Murray's replacement and more generally how do we get the ball forward much quicker.

I also think that for a club that has 4 wingers we actually need to improve this area as our wing play is not very good.

I don't think us Bongites are making him out to be better than he is, but it's more to do with defending him from the Bongboos.

I don't imagine there would be any Bong's Brill threads if Bong wasn't being singled out as the defensive weak link. (He's too tall for that!!)

Love the sentiment in this thread and elsewhere that of our current squad only Dunk, Duffy and Ryan are good enough...!! And that can soon change if they make a couple of mistakes... [emoji28]

Difficult to believe that when someone posted that outside the top six, Bong is one of the best LBs in the league!!!
