    Excellent players tend to excell. On a regular basis. This is what makes them excellent. But then he wouldn't be playing for us if he were the new Ashley Cole.

    You tend to go a little OTT in your descriptions of Darnell Furlong and his contributions to games. While I like your enthusiasm I'm just calling for a bit of balance.


    Furlong is a bottom to mid championship player at best and Townsend is a league 1 player. You are correct Dan and these comments are heard from many travelling to see West Brom away. Asante is a gem at 300K but sadly he's not a consistent goal scorer and crosses/corners are wasted when there's no striker there to get a head on it so get why many say Asante is out of his depth.

    Generally speaking you need a 30 plus goal scorer to get out of the championship and full backs who don't give quality attackers easy goals.

    Yes it is about balance and on balance those 2 full backs which in your opinion are just not good enough form of this leagues 2nd best defence. How does that work?

    Imo Furlong is good enough. Townsend worries me.
