Bong

[zicorice]

Nice to see we are giving Bong time to settle in and get up to speed (not).

So are we writing this lad off after just 60 minutes in the Garibaldi?

Thing is Sniff, we've only 14 games left now. Players bought here in Jan should already be up to speed. At the very least they should be able to see most the game out.

Bong was blowing after half hour, and I'm surprised he lasted until the 60 mark. He looks a good 5-10 games off match fitness at least.

He's 32 in April as well, so it's not as if we're developing him.

I think Bong was due to do no more than about 60 mins whatever happened, due to his lack of match fitness. 
I also thought he wasn't that bad, other than that backpass. Worse debuts have been seen many times. Muric and Mir for starters.

I agree Alf that he would need a couple of games to get up to speed, but he is still better suited to our system than want away Chema. If we lost Ribs for 10 games, we would suffer more previously than we would now. If Ribs stays fit then its a moot point.

Honestly though, the abuse he has got on here is too much. He wasn't even our worst full back on the night and in truth his crossing was also better than Cash on the night, though it was a bit weird how good Cash was up to the point of delivery to then spoon it over/long.

32 is no age IF he is still fit. Presumably, Forest still conduct a thorough medical?
