Did his loan deal extend that late in the season though?
Yes. He was just left out of the squad.

So we're just ignoring the assists?
He then went and had a successful WC campaign (you can't tell me how he played against the teams they faced wasn't successful) and has since kicked on when returned to usHe got 2 assists
So no, I’m not going to ignore assists. It’s a contribution I suppose, but nothing to get excited about.
Chong will be 27 in December. He has 12 career league goals, 14 career league assistsSo we're just ignoring the assists?
Not me especially if we are going to stick with 3-5-2Said a number of times, would 100% take him.
Got a feeling 3-5-2 was out of necessity not choice.Not me especially if we are going to stick with 3-5-2
Nor am I, unless we get Souttar over the line and Cannon fucked off.He’s not coming
I prefer this formation which helps to stop the opposition dominating the midfield.Got a feeling 3-5-2 was out of necessity not choice.
I liked him. I think he had a hell of a lot more to offer as well. I just feel Wilder didn't like him, and he didn't enjoy his time here either.
I mean, it could be attitude and work ethic too.Look at how Rak saki / Brooks / Seriki are treated compared to Arblaster / Peck / Shackleton
Wilder has his favourites and its usually the ones hed like to go for a pint with

Im not saying those three had bad ones, but he did question it publicly at times.
I’m not sure they’re treated any differently are they?Look at how Rak saki / Brooks / Seriki are treated compared to Arblaster / Peck / Shackleton

This is the BBD who banged a load of goals in for us in the PL just before? Had we picked JRS and lost, people would be saying the same thing the other way round.Choosing BBD over JRS in the playoffs was one of Wilder's biggest mistakes imo. Rak-Sakyi always had a moment of brilliance in him. BBD didn't offer anything.
Not seen owt in Chong to suggest he is the answer to anything positive that isn’t hair related.Awful is going a little over the top, but yes, in an ideal world we'd move him on and bring back JRS. However, I suspect bridges have been burned there.
Not just before, over a year before. He looked a shadow of that player in his 2nd stint with us. He was hardly the player in form leading up to the PL final.This is the BBD who banged a load of goals in for us in the PL just before?

They wouldn't, because BBD had been poor 2nd time around and that matters a lot more than any evidence from a completely different situationThis is the BBD who banged a load of goals in for us in the PL just before?

I get you’re a big Wilder fan, but even he will admit that he doesn’t get every decision right. This was a big one that he got wrong, and it doesn’t even need hindsight to say that.
BBD for us in the Championship that season: 18 games 4 goals 3 assistsThey wouldn't, because BBD had been poor 2nd time around and that matters a lot more than any evidence from a completely different situation
JRS was the far superior player that season
Think everyone assumed Rak-Sakyi must have been injured. Suspect VAR may have dominated a lot of post-match chat.BBD for us in the Championship that season: 18 games 4 goals 3 assists
JRS: 35 games 7 goals 2 assists
His PL appearances for us were literally the season before, they couldn't be any more "just before".
I like JRS as a player and agree that he looked better than BBD that season on the right hand side where he was more comfortable. Neither started in the final and Brooks was brought on to replace Brewster on the right. Speaking to fans that day, I didn't find loads of people complaining about the lineup before kick off or saying they'd have started JRS.
It might have been a mistake, but to say it's a big mistake without hindsight is an exaggeration. Wilder gets stuff wrong all the time and clearly got stuff wrong in that game, as all managers do.
