Left Back

[Stat Brother]

Do you honestly think that because we are top of the league no players are open to criticism? Genuine question.

Think a few outstanding performances have covered Bongs frailties recently.

Do you honestly think a team that has conceded 15 goals all season has a left back that 'simply isn't good enough'?

Remember this isn't a phony made up stat, that gets trotted out so everyone can win a prize
.
We're talking about half the season or in Bong's case

21 games
13 goals conceded

As Bong didn't play v Blackburn, who scored 2.

We have 5 primary defenders and they, when including Bong, have let in just 13 goals.

What a lame thread. Top of league, two points clear and a game in hand.

Then we have this pillock coming online talking shit about the left back who's a part of the best back four the Albion has seen in 30 plus years.

Nice one!

I am gunna say two words: Sam Rents. Now please continue telling me how shit Bong is.

I think Dunk, Duffy and Bruno have genuinely been outstanding and that's covered Bong's shortfalls.

Agree or disagree, I don't think Bong is good enough and I think it's the one position where we don't have strength in depth.

A decent left back should be able to pass 5 yards without the ball going out of play.

but let's be fair, Bong hasn't been up to scratch this season. You get the feeling a costly mistake is almost imminent.

Bong simply isn't good enough.

We really struggled on the left hand side today, not helped with a left back that can't seem to keep the ball in play let alone find a team mate.

The one weak link in our squad IMO.

Along those lines...

18 unbeaten (48 points from a possible 54).
5 wins in row.
9 unbeaten away.
1 defeat in 19 away.
7 defeats in last 71 league games.

F*** knows where we would be if we had a left back who could pass 5 yards

What is 'lame' is you my friend coming out with the 'top of the league' comment giving you the right to think everyone should be immune from critiscm. So if a player gets needlessly sent off against Preston, we lose but remain top of the league, then he should also be immune simply because 'we are top of the league'

Rubbish. It's about opinions. And mine is that Bong isn't good enough. Don't agree? Fair enough but stop this 'top of the league' bubble when appraising individual performances.

Bored with the constant attacks at Bong and I'm not his biggest fan.

He's certainly a very good player, sometimes you have to give the opposition some credit

Fair play to the Fulham winger for making him incapable of passing the ball 5 yards in play.

You are the Andy Townsend of NSC. #talkingnonsense

Maybe time for an early night - I'm really trying to help

Always found him quite knowledgable

 

[HCxUK]

Bong was great in a couple of one vs one situations today, he played a few poor passes but was no worse than anyone else in a poor first half.. Really don't understand some of the criticism he gets

 

[Stat Brother]

Andy Townsend was saying in the warm up to Villa v Leeds.

'If Villa can average 2 points a game for the rest of the season, they'll end up with 80 and in the play-offs'.

Since then they've amassed 1 from a maximum of 6.


You may very well have a point.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Point proven. You keep digging that hole. Anyway I am off to start a Roberto Carlos thread. I always thought Real Madrid would have won more trophies without him in the team.

When you say it is all about opinions

I sort of tried to guide you in a couple of earlier posts. I even said I don't necessarily disagree with you about Rosenior; however, our opinions don't matter that much. The only opinion that matters is that of the Manager.

Every time Bong is fit he plays. No matter who else is fit in the squad. Is it any clearer now ?

 

[Munchkin]

Digging a hole for having an opinion. Nice one.

Rosenior will soon be back and watch the noticeable difference as we march on the promised land.

 

[Perkino]

Fulham are one of the highest goalscorers in the league. They give most defences a hard time, I'm very happy to see Bong battle with Pog & Rosenior throughout the remainder of the season but I think both Rightback and Leftback are positions we will need to improve if we get promoted.

Rosenior isn't expected to make it for MK Dons which is vital we win so he can play in the forth round

 

[Munchkin]

I believe when Rosenior and Bong are both fit maybe CH's decision will different. Just a hunch.

Don't believe he's had that decision to make too many times this season.

He means:-

'it's all about my opinion'.

 

[spence]

Another shit thread. OP also stated Duffy wasn't needed also. Just shows what he knows

 

[Munchkin]

'it's all about my opinion'.

The only one that matters, as is yours.
