I know I'm in the minority here but I think BTA is a useful player & ideal as a pressing forward. His lack of technique badly lets him down as we've seen but he'll get into good positions & eventually score a few if he's given the time. Again, his lack of game time isn't helping him or us & he's probably feeling the pressure & snatching at chances even more as he's desperate to impress.
Just so you don't feel totally out on a limb (with current fitness) I think BTA and Simms should be starting with Bassette coming on for one or other of them depending on how the game is going.
Rudoni on the left doesn’t work in our system, we would definitely be better with BTA or Bassette out there.
For any squad player not likely to get much game time you want them to have a big impact when they come on late, I don't think BTA quite meets that criteria.
Broadly agree. Worth noting though that Obikwu is more of an international than Bassette albeit (most would argue) for a much poorer side.
