He played extremely week against Bolton and Blackburn but why let the facts get in the way of blind prejudice?This seemingly endless campaign against Young by a lot of people on here is bizarre."He thinks he's too big for us", "there's two of them, the one that plays for England and the one that we see every week", "boo hoo, he's such a whinger"He is not without his faults, but it is all so unbelievably small time, it makes us sound like Albion fans.I suspect it is because he's almost certainly off in the summer, and said posters are preparing the ground to say "good riddance" and act like he was always shit anyway.

One thing which is being forgotten in this debate is that Premiership teams found a way of reducing his effectiveness on the wing by playing a "proper" full back who would force him wide and stop him cutting in, or simply putting 2 players on him. The Welsh team, as co-commentator Coleman was at pains to point out, were remiss to the the point of incompetence in this task.

Yes they did and there was a lot of call on this site for him to be moved into the middle.
While we continue to use Young in the middle, we're not getting the best out of Bent.
