Really good so far, only minor disappointment Wright and BTA with the ball

They are two opposites. BTA is a hardworking scuffler of a player. You just need him to break into space.

Wright is one of those players who drifts in and out of games. Dave Bennett was the same. Often lackluster until he had his 15 minute purple spell

Both are very good players with different styles.

Its da Silva injured?

He doing the half time coffee, don't forget played Saturday so his little legs will be aching.

 

[AOM]

Would give Haji another 5-10 minutes and then look to bring Mason-Clark on

 

[jordan210]

If we could slide some balls to Bassette would love to see him running at a defender

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Whatever happens in the 2nd half (they’ll bring their big boys on), reading the Spurs forum match thread is comedy gold.

 

[fernandopartridge]

BTA has worked hard down his flank to be fair to him

He needs to lift his head when he's got the ball, that's why I said with the ball. Defensively high up him and Wright have been good and kept the shape

He’s not keeping up with Norman’s press though.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Reminds me of how we used to play in the Hamer/Gyokeres days. Let them have all the possession but stop them from doing anything with it.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Love the way Bassette isn’t afraid to bark orders and make himself heard, really leads from the front and has endless energy to press.

On the TV the atmosphere is like watching a pre season friendly .

 

[coop]

I'd swap Wright with Clarke.They will be stronger second half so any chance needs taking but a good half.

Have to disagree I've got headphones on and the atmosphere sounds good.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Think Norman is going to make us a mint

 

[Hobo]

That's a good first half by us.

 

[Mr Panda]

For no reason at all I’m convinced Norman Bassette is the second coming of Haaland

EMC at least can control the ball. Haji kept his first touch at home today.

 

[Bugsy]

How do we look on TV lads lol ...PUSB

Give us a few quotes

We’ve got to get everyone around him on the same wavelength. He’s extremely intelligent and mature for his age the way he’s handling that front line against Spurs.

 

[duffer]

Stormin' Norman. Like Haaland, but faster.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Good.

Sky highlighting how we've restricted Spurs to zero shots on target

 

[HadjiChippo]

Think Norman is going to make us a mint

Really surprised he’s not even 20 yet, plays like someone beyond his years.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Solid displays all round apart from Wright who looks tired. Anyone who knocks Allen should think again. Right sort of game for Bassette and Thomas-Asante, can utilise their energy and be pests.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Bertie looking class…but very happy with all of them really

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Good.

Zero shots allegedly

 

[SIR ERNIE]

I hope Bassette is given the full 90.

Really enjoying watching him.

Give us a few quotes

"Terrible, Werner looks like he wouldn't cut it at Coventry"
"This is shit, I love Ange but he's a c***"

 

[Winny the Bish]

Sky pundits complimentary of Norman and how we've played.

Scuffler ????

Hahahah. this is fucking atrocious. Whos the Championship team here. So slow and scripted. Pathetic coaching to be fair and I'm still backing Ange


EVERYBODY looks worse than they did 12 months ago.Anyone in denial that the fault lies with the coaching staff is delusional.


to be fair this coventry side is better than anything he would of played domestically in his career. tough gig.


Against fucking Coventry man this shit is so sad. This football is Nuno level bad.

You know things aren't quite right when you are playing Coventry and Solanke has had less touches than Ben Davies.

Think we just need to keep doing what we’re doing here.

Soon the Coventry keeper will doze off and if we’re quiet we’ll be able to sneak the ball in around him.

 

[Evo1883]

I think bassette if coached correctly could be a real star , just 19 and has the confidence of a seasoned pro

 

[Grendel]

He needs to lift his head when he's got the ball, that's why I said with the ball. Defensively high up him and Wright have been good and kept the shape

He seems a bit of an enigma to me

 

[jordan210]

Makes it more baffling that Bassette dint get 15 mins on sat

Awww it's like the Utd forum last year.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He seems a bit of an enigma to me

He’s played well and put a fantastic ball across the box to Wright that he should have scored

 

[Nick]

Change for them. Can't see who it is
