He is ofcourse a kidHe's not ready to lead the line as a sole striker.
There's plenty of raw ability, but he's got to be paired up with Simms or as an impact sub.

Because he took a heavy touch lolI agree about pairing but won us a pen we missed

I agree that would have worked better today due to the number of crosses in to the box in the first half. Not taking away from Bassettes ability, but Simms being a unit and a decent first time finisher would have been better to start today.Simms put himself about well, hassled the defence and won headers. Would have had Simms on first half personally, when we were actively trying to put crosses in then brought on Norm to harass tired legs
I agree, however the title of the thread is misleading.He's not ready to lead the line as a sole striker.

Advice from the touchline sub's got the goalkeeper off with the save, did anyone see his reaction when they missed a chance threw himself to the floor like a child up near the HW line?Not his biggest fan but if Torp scores the penalty we talk more about his good work to win it
When he joined us as a 19 year old, unheard of striker, everyone said who???? And "wtf do we need another striker for" etc etcHe's not ready to lead the line as a sole striker.

also, and i don’t quite know how to articulate it properly, but he’s obviously a massive fan of running in behind you can tell by the way he is pointing to where he wants it and screaming for it but either a) our midfielders aren’t capable of pulling off the through balls he’s looking for or b) they’re too nervous about getting pelters if they try it and it doesn’t pull it off or c) maybe this isn’t appropriate for a lone striker and he’d be better off in a twoHe's very raw but he doesn't give the centre backs a minute's peace which helps create space for others. His pace got him the penalty today.
That’s my thinking behind it too. Simms start his run of form last season after wrestling with Godden for it. It’s a similar battle this season it seems.I think Lampard is sending a message to Simms.
Given his performance when he came on its hopefully message received, (until his next all nighters on his PS5)
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I reckon Simms would've got one maybe two today .The way we were playing suits him more than Norm in my opinionThat’s my thinking behind it too. Simms start his run of form last season after wrestling with Godden for it. It’s a similar battle this season it seems.
Looking at the run of games, I want Simms up there because we could get him a few goals and kick start a run.
Off the ball, Bassette gives defenders a lot of grief but on the ball he struggles a little bit. Few heavy touches and outmuscled by defenders a bit and I don’t back him to win a header. In the first half, I felt that the crosses we put in the box called for Wright and Simms.
100% because we’re actually making efforts to cross earlier at the byline.Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I reckon Simms would've got one maybe two today .The way we were playing suits him more than Norm in my opinion
