He does look like he could score a hatful in the championship with a more mobile midfield behind him. He's one I hope we keep as I can see potential for him to become closer to the player he was a few years ago.

I hope the powers that be recognise we HAVE to try and keep him.

Absolutely no loyalty with footballers whatsoever these days, certain players owe us. i hope he stays

Anyone notice that his goal came straight off the training ground?

We had an identical corner routine in the first half where Dawson won the header at the back post and put the ball across goal, Rodriguez was in the same position but didn't make the 3 yard run. He was visibily p1ssed with himself for not doing it.

Second half and Dawson wins the same header, this time JRod makes the run and puts it in the net.

Well done Moore, Dawson and JRod.

And Nemanja Matic

He played really well yesterday and although is no world beater, he is a solid Premier league player who I think would do well in the Championship. He's on a long deal so as long as he doesn't have a release clause, I can see him sticking around next year. If clubs were to come in for him, with the length of time left remaining on his deal, we could and should demand Â£20m plus. If a bid of that size did come in though, we should let him go as he will be 29 in the summer.

I thought he was outstanding yesterday. The last ten games or so he's really improved . He had a terrible injury and maybe he's only really got back to what he was of late.

As others have said we need to keep either him or Rondon next season either of them are more than capable of 20 goals.

He may also be emerging from the shackles of a former Head Coach's "football" philosophy as well as approaching a level of fitness after long injury lay offs

I'm not sure whether you are talking about Pulis or Pardew but it seems clear from what the players are saying that they couldn't stand Pardew and didn't know what they were meant to be doing on the pitch. Can't say I blame them I could never understand what we were supposed to be doing either. Bloody atrocious manager Pardew was.

I think the point concerning fitness certainly has merits. Earlier in the season, for me, he didn't look particularly mobile which did appear to be hampering him significantly. I do feel we would see a different player in the Championship next season and he would be a goal machine at that level

I see that Chris Hughton bongs manager is disappointed with the decision in some way,why's that I wonder?
Can't he accept the decision without commenting further?
Let it go man,its over,not proven.

I haven't been a fan for much of this season but can't deny that our 2 best performances were also his.
Think we will cash in in the summer, will probably even turn a profit, but won't be too disappointed if he is part of our assault on the Championship next year.

I would be delighted to see him with us next year. He is our highest scorer this year despite having fewer games and being pushed out of position
However I do think someone will take him off us

If we can keep just one of him or Rondon this summer we will, I believe, have a 20+ goalscorer in the Championship. Five players stated to have release clauses, four to my knowledge have been leaked to the media (Evans, Dawson, Chadli, Rondon) I suspect the 5th is either Rodriguez or Livermore, hope it's the latter.

I thought it only were 4 players?

I see Bong has come out in the press and again has accused Jay of calling him black. the FA must take action, the football club should be making their feelings clear to the governing body and Jay should pursue leagal action.

Err, he is black ...

He needs to let it go. Clearly made a false allegation in the heat if the moment and can't back down now without looking bad

The case is â€˜non provenâ€™ and yet Jay is still being called a liar. A job for your legal team, Jay. You shouldnâ€™t have to put up with this nonsense any longer

Adder · « **Reply #870 on:** April 18, 2018, 09:49:54 PM »

Chris Hughton is generally respected but he's been out of order commenting on this after the FA outcome. It's one man's word against another with no proof either way, any comments especially from managers should have stopped with the verdict.

17GD · « **Reply #871 on:** April 19, 2018, 01:16:06 AM »

What annoys me about Bong is that within a few days of making the allegation, he was putting stuff out on social media about being "the black panther". It's like, you just accused someone of calling you black and now you're saying stuff about being black...seems like you're the one with the colour issues, no one else!

It's been handled well by Jay, just hope everyone can move on and forget it.

I don't know about anyone else but I have no intention of reading it.

It's over and done with and it's taking up no more of my time / life. If Bong can't let it go it's his problem and his life he's letting it control.

Let him get on with it.

He's 'advised' by the same PR/communications/media company as Saido Berahino.

Just saying.........
