If we were being even handed we'd call out our hope for many of them to stop errors, with maybe a few exceptions, or make better decisions on the ball. The thread would probably rumble on with debate about the exceptions. I guess I'm fairly philosophical about this and CH's decisions on playing the best hand he has at the time. If we had the money I'd hope we would buy better players across many of the positions. Until then I'm both pleasantly surprised by how some of the players perform in the PL and think I should have had more faith, and at times I worry that we are seeing some of them at their best, but delighted every time we seem to get away with it and I think that's because it isn't about the individual players, it's the collective team. I still don't understand why focussing on Bong errors makes the boat go faster. Happy to see him in the starting 11 until CH selects someone better to do the job, but it's about opinions.

No, I take issue with Bong because I don't think he offers much to the team. Can't attack effectively and I don't think, unlike others that he gets into great positions when defending. The point I was making was that Bong threads seem to go on longer than others because his fan club seem to think he's the best thing since sliced bread so the rest of us spend our free time pointing out that he is far from that.

strong and stable with me, or...
His fan club wouldn't exist if there weren't comments like yours to be fair.

Now that is an odd comment. Every player has his fans but most can see their idol's weaknesses as well as it is about them they like.

It’s not odd at all in the context of what you’ve posted previously.

Wolves. Shots 25. On target 7. This week, clearly no weaknesses at the back. Dunk'n Duffy, Bruno Bong and magnificent Maty.
Almost identical to Newcastle last week.......but Wolves looked far more threatening to me. Their chances were much better ones and Ryan had more to do.
Fantastic performances from the back 5 to keep out 50-odd attempts in 2 games.

He'll be replaced come end of the season, Then all the numpties can find another weak player to shout about.
Will he? We have three left backs on the books and Bong's preferred to all of them. Yes, there are better left backs in the PL but can Albion find any better with their budget? He had a good game yesterday, I don't see him being replaced any time soon

In the WSU yesterday, I heard three different numpties having a go at Bong when it was Izquirdo who was the player involved at the time.

To be fair, it is hard to tell them apart.
