I don't actually think he was *that* bad tonight. Though he was passing to WBA players a lot, he did deliver a lot of decent passes up the wing, and a couple of crosses. And I wish he wouldn't do that f***ing drifting central thing.

Utter dog shit. Got away with completely fluffing 2 headers in the first half. He ambles back and gets caught inside too often. Absolute garbage.

Absolutely roasted by Worral for losing the ball stupidly easily. What a terrible player, that’s got to be one of his worst games and that’s saying something..

I have to say, if he was playing and i was captain, I'd certainly be on at his positioning and giving the ball away, aside from that don't think he was too bad really.

Certainly someone we shouldn't be looking to keep hold of and need options if Lowe is going to be out for any length of time.

I think focusing on Bongs performance is getting about as boring as someone wandering around New York and saying ‘look at all the tall buildings’

Aye, we all know he's not very good but as it currently stands he was the only left back available to us tonight so what you gonna do?

Colback will come back in next game. Bong will be gone in summer. It is what it is.

Hopefully that's the last we've seen of him.. I feel sorry for him in a way because he looks so out of his depth..

Not my favourite player but thought he showed character last night in the face of some bad abuse. Had a look on the West Brom forum earlier and one poster said it didn’t sit right with him but he got shouted down .

Apparently, and this is second-hand, he was getting booed by the home fans because he’d previously accused one of their players of racially abusing him?

FTFY. Shit club, shit fans. Leave early and give abuse to a player who was racially abused by one of their own.

Justice for Jake Livermore etc.

f*** um.

Thanks for that in the pub we were wondering why he was getting booed. I thought he was alright. Can't head for shit and his positioning is still off but with McKenna next to him he was.covered better than in a back 4. Definitely needs replacing but I've seen worse players for us.

Looking back on the events of last night, he did incredibly well to hold it all together and get through the 90 minutes.

Some people sat behind me, joined in with the West Brom booing - I had a word, asked them what they were hoping to achieve - they responded by adding their own casual racist remarks. Quite disheartening. Fortunately, they left with ten minutes to go.

Thanks for that, it does seem to be a legit issue with Gaetan then.

Of course, West Brom‘s most famous celebrity fan is Eric Clapton, a man who knows a thing or two about racism. Seems he’s in good company.

For a club that trades on the names of these players then perhaps their fans should re-asess their attitude to Black players

It doesn't appear to be that though does it? They weren't booing Bong because he's black. They were booing them because he made allegations that one of their players had been racist to him which later proved to be unfounded.

Even that doesn't really mean it happened or not because if they couldn't prove it, then Rodriguez would probably deny it, but I'm not sure why Bong would just make it up, it's not something he has a track record of doing and doesn't appear to be a bad professional, nor would he gain an advantage from doing so.

As you say "why would Bong make it up"

There was also a racist comment from a WBA fan heard by some on here during last night's game, still "Cyrille Regis, he's one of our own"
