Bassette myth (2 Viewers)

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!

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...

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?
