I thought Bong was fine last night. I suspect that the criticisms of players like him are borne from a dislike of the player as a signing generally, rather than what they are actually doing on the pitch.

I hope Bong keeps his place now that he's found his feet. His crossing and his heading are so much better than Ribeiro.

Good read from the manager imo.

Colback did his job. Harassed players. Thought he was unlucky to get booked as it was Figs who grabbed hold of the man and the ref booked Colback?

Christie stood to far off his man, even though he should of known Figs was there to back him up

Figs is giving 1000%, i really think if you can't give a player any credit then why keep criticising?

Early in the game Wozza conceded a soft, dangerous free kick and if it had been Figgy would of been crucified, as also allowed Coventry in also early in the game, they went very close , maybe scored offside can't remember

All i know is Figgy, despite being sandwiched stopped there big fella's getting onto anything

He played a really good pass, might of been early in the move for the very early 'tap in' {needed a lung not forthcoming] from Christies cross for Grabbs

Figs loses about 3 pints of blood and a few limbs every game and still gets back up

considering personnell and injuries, Figgy and Wozza is as good as it will get, just pray they BOTH stay fit, lift the curses!

Sorry for mentioning him, again, but would you prefer he got injured?  No, I didn't think so.

Grabbs is an exceptionally good fit, class above the other options there.

Brice Samba could be worth £20m the way he's going, that was the ultimate display of dominating an area and supersedes athleticism from previous best performances, distribution also very good and we can all breathe as he hugs the ball on the ground as if it were a little baby

CH brought him on specifically to do a man marking job and Da Costa had much less influence down the right afterwards so it worked. It wasn’t Bong’s job to counter the opposition full back, so I don’t understand why he’s especially relevant, other than he did a sterling job against their inside right.

Defensively he seems ok (I would say on a par with Figs) but more for the fact he seems to want to pass forward better and more importantly for me, he is a threat in the opposition box, he has proven that in the few minutes he's been given. We get plenty of corners and free kicks around the area etc but the quality of our movement, strength and heading ability is really quite poor. Would be a very good string to add to our bow in my opinion.
