And ps - Wayne Bridge is the best left back we’ve ever had

By a big margin too

Bongy's attributes outweigh his inadequacies - That's what is keeping him in the team. Bernardo is the future and a great footballer but he can't defend as well as Bong can just yet.

Quite possibly correct, but one game largely in an incorrect position isn’t a lot to judge on. (I know he said he can play there, but his primary position is LB).

Bong has been okay so far, Bambi on ice at times, but steady.

CH did say in the post match interview that it has been difficult to slot in some of the new players. Every game has been a tough call given who we have played. Cautious is what CH is about so unless Bong, Dunk or Duffy gets injured, suspended, loses form badly or we have a bit of breathing space, points wise, Bernardo and Balogun are not going to get games.

In training the squad all hate getting tackled by Bong and they are his team mates.

Even the the best and most popular player at a club makes a mistake then there is a groan. It is for the action (or lack of it) rather than the person.

Gaetan, generally has been great for us. He's improved every season. How often to you see him get skinned? How often do you see him caught the wrong side? How often do you see him muscled off the ball? Not very often

Yes, it must be very difficult for those not playing, particularly Balogun who did little wrong in the games he started. Pleased AJ got a start, and I actually thought when he and Knockaert interchanged it was quite promising (although Knock had a bit of an off-night).

Definitely the strongest squad I my lifetime supporting.

It was thousands and, as a card carrying left loony, I have no doubt whatsoever that racism (unconscious or otherwise) is a significant factor.

What an absurd statement.

Bullshit back at you.
You DO NOT keep a clean sheet if 1/4 of the defence is poor. Bong had a good game.

The bullshit part is about it being racially motivated. Or do you agree with that?

@Guinness Boy has an astute view in the all positives thread.
It's taken a week but has certainly given me pause for thought

Hughton mentioned Bernardo last night on Sky as a player pressing for game time. And despite being pleased with the 3 points he did not hold back from venting his frustration at how much we gave the ball away.

Bong contributed his fair share of giving the ball away.

I like Bong and think that he is a decent Prem defender but if we are to become a top half of the table side we might need to upgrade.
