Undecided, both good. Bong faster and better tackling/jockeying, Suttner a better passer.........if we had the best bits of both in a single player we'd have a £30m LB.

Key passes - 0.

If Murray had been playing against Watford when Suttner was making it rain deadly crosses, we'd have battered them.

Suttner is better in all aspects of the game, but Bong is a solid replacement when required. Either way, depending our level of ambition for next season, we'll need a new left back.

For all your banging on about Suttner's crossing ability on NSC, it was piss poor against Bournemouth.

Suttner has looked really good the last couple of games, I'll grant you, but Bong - I just love it when he gets the ball and immediately looks to see what he can do with it going forward. Such positivity, I love it. So I've chosen the fence option.

HOWEVER - its bloody scandalous that of the 24 players plus CH to adorn the 2018 Albion calendar, Bong is not one of them. KLL. Murphy and Skalak are on their for ****s sake, but no Bong. I AM OFFICIALLY APPALLED

I would go for Bong but I think that CH is playing them correctly and keeping them on their toes, whether it be by choice or necessity. Unfortuantely we do not have the same option in many other positions

You've took the words out of my mouth, and are not known as our resident left-back expert for nothing.
If I had to plump for one, I'd go with Suttner, but Bong is in the richest vein of form since he's been with us, in my view.

Bong.

Bong. He’s actually a competent defender at this level, but people have decided he’s awful and they’re not going to be swayed. Suttner is a tidy little player too.

quicker, better tackling, betting running with the ball Bong for me,
though Suttner is better passing.

Suttner's sliding tackles are a thing of beauty and source of great joy.
But I really enjoy Bong's occasional moments of flair.

Hopefully they'll come a time when CH has this dilemma in every position.

Suttner every time. I think Bong is the slightly better defender but offers nothing going forward. Suttner is the better all round player.

Bong because of his strength and pace, we need that in our back four.

Suttner great at passing but thats more of a midfielders quality.

I like the fact that Bong has NO key passes. Suttner is much better but 'Backwards Bong' is ok away from home for certain games.

Suttner for me.

it will be interesting to see which one plays in the cup game, as to me that would be a clear indication they are not starting at West Brom
