Pocognoli

[CP 0 3 BHA]

If we want him to extend his loan period (doesn't it currently expire in Jan?) then giving him a run in the team would be a sensible choice.

He is here for the season.

Should keep the shirt. Looked far better than Bong today. Bong was a liability at times against Cardiff.

He was very good tonight, difficult to tell against 10 men for 60 mins .

Bong will come back in and rightly so, but anymore slip ups and Poc will be in.

Keep him in. Tackles like a demon, slotted straight in and was also happy to push a long way forward. Looked top quality to me. Fabulous performance to come in and play like that.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I would keep him in the eleven for Tuesday before Bong comes back on Saturday. Think CH will make use of the squad on Tuesday and play Goldson, Towell, Hemed and March from the start. Rest for Stephens, Murphy, Murray and one of the wingers.

Sorry, not checked the fixtures. Is this a Leyland Daf Trucks cup tie game? If its a league game I somehow don't see CH throwing in the Towell . . .

Looks a more natural left back than Bong IMO.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Bong is a very assured full back who has a good understanding with Skalak and Murphy. Poggy has gone straight in there and been totally assured. He did have one or two misunderstandings with Murphy, but nevertheless a very decent display. No worries with Bong being suspended.

I thought BG would be all over this thread

Have only just got home but FWIW I thought that he started off obviously lacking matchg fitness and it showed but he improved as the game went on and at the end I would have no worries about which of the two plays at left back. Both are very comparable with each other

 

[crasher]

Good performance from him tonight. Looked very assured and I think he should start on Tuesday. He also looks to have a bit more pace or at least acceleration, than Bong?

 

[Easy 10]

I thought he was terrific. LOVED that sliding wipeout challenge he did in the centre circle first half, emerging with the ball. Switched play with a couple of splendid sweeping passes, and in the last knockings of the 1st half he beat their RB all ends up and slipped it to Murray which could easily have resulted in 2-0.

Considering he's been kicking his heels for so long, he was bloody great. I'm a fan of Bong, but this guy is SO ready to step in. Interesting decision for Tuesday.

Bong has done nothing to justify automatic selection. I think Pog had a decent game and better than what I have seen from Bong so IMO he should retain his position.

Yep, agree with that [emoji106]

It's slightly ridiculous that people are discussing whether a left back in the Belgian squad last month "deserves a chance" to play a second game. He was way way way better than Bong

When he clicks with his wingers he'll be mustard.

Newcastle rested half their first choice players against Blackburn at St James the other week and lost, we definitely shouldn't underestimate them and field a under strength side.

Win for us and a win for Leeds against Reading and the gap to 3rd could be as big as 10 points.

Is that a fear for you? That has never, ever entered my mind.

Apart from being part of the best defence in the league for 20 games....

Now I'm not Bong's biggest fan, but messing around with the defence on the back of one good game against 10 men is a risky business for me.

 

[Bob'n'weave]

Pog's up for it and looking a bit more like the finished article. Bong worries me sometimes.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Loved his crunching tackle in the first 5 minutes, no messing about.
