Bassette myth (1 Viewer)

100% because we’re actually making efforts to cross earlier at the byline.

How many times under MR and Carr did we get to the byline not cross it? Too often a phase of play would look something like this:
We get to a crossing position and the would-be crosser passes it back to another player, maybe another 1-2 back and forth passes before recycling back to midfield to then shift it to the opposite wing and repeat until we lose the ball. In the meantime, the opposition just sits in a defensive shape and have 3-4 players dealing with one striker in the box.

Compare that with both goals yesterday, the ball was whipped in quicker and before defenders could pick up our attackers in the box. Rudoni arrived late and in space. The same thing happened v WBA but Torp missed an easy header.

Agree with all of this except the last bit, Torp narrowly missed with a diving header while also putting himself in danger from a boot to the head from one of our own players!

Maybe I’m being too harsh because I haven’t watched the replay from WBA and the chance happened at the opposite end of the away fans.

Simms to start next week Vs Pompey. We are getting so many crosses in. He will come good.

He'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.

Apologies for the subject line....where the f*ck "myth" has come from I'm unsure...it was supposed to be just "Bassette"
I was drunk yesterday (yes that early due to a rare celebration)
Am I able to edit the subject of thread?

The way we're playing under Frank so far will suit Simms.
Less of the ball to his feet back to goal and more just piping it into him.
Give him service in front of goal and he'll score, he's not the type to make the chance himself.

who starts a thread like this mid game ffs

Me! Didn't realise there's a rule for when threads can be started
I thought it deserved it's own thread tbh

Kid has a future for sure but it is very odd that a guy with basically no goal scoring pedigree and who has been pretty ineffective so far this season (if we are honest) is starting over our and west broms top goalscorers from last season. Either he is immense in training... or Simms really isn't...

The latter and Wright being injured.

So this entire discussion is based on a typo
