I remember that game. We (9 year old me and my Dad) arrived late to the North Stand and the only space left was next to the away fans at the North East corner... "Pop" Robson I think scored (2?) and spoiled our day... funny that you've only won down here once since then [emoji38]
Hence solid instead of MotM.

I was desperate to walk away from last weeks "more sinister reason" for being on Bong's back, and wasn't given any reason to do so.
Watching last night I certainly didn't see a player who was 'far to slow', 'poor at crossing', he was no poorer than anybody else who didn't get the audible moans and groans when they skimmed the head of the defender, 'can't defend a high ball'. All that were mentioned last week, none of which did anything to change my initial troubling possibility.
Now though I think you are onto something, as that did happen a couple of times, last night, in the first half.
On one occasion he made a great challenge, cocked up the simple pass out, won the ball back and then got rid of it.
So there was either 2 rock solid pieces of defending or 1 Sunday league pass.
I'll see where your hypothesis gets me over the next few weeks.
(If it's to a Bong Bashing place I'll know who to blame.
Our best winger last season, and one of our best players overall. At last he's back.
Indeed, he's the player that gives me most hope in a game.
He's only had 20 minutes, it's a bit early to know isn't it? I thought he started just as well as he was playing last season, which is impressive in his first 20 minutes back. Not sure he showed more than last season though did he?
