[Nick]

He was the only one who gave their players a bit at the weekend (other than Wright slightly).

Went straight through the keeper and then started telling him.

It's mad how he's just signed and played a couple of games and he's out there with more fight than those who have been here for years.

He's got a great attitude although I think he needs to be developed and used sparingly for the time being .
Definitely got a lot of potential though.

 

[edgy]

It wont be long before he is starting games on current showings.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Even more mad compared to everyone else when you consider he's 19

 

[Macca1987]

It won't be long before he get's pissed off, when he sees his team mates not having the same go for it attitude that he is displaying

I like this kind of attitude, hopefully the other players take to him and get used to it too. I know he hasn’t scored yet but looks a find based on what we’ve seen so far.

I know we've already made the comparisons but the mentality is the same as Vik, and it does raise standards

Hopefully it gives the other players a kick up the arse to show some aggression. I think he can become a real leader that we have been missing in the side, which is to say crazy considering he’s only 19. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was one of the two who showed leadership qualities after the game that Robins quoted.

I love him already, he’s class and I dont care if he turns out to score 1 in 6 I loved Bakayoko and Biamou too for recent examples, its about the workrate and everything else they do that counts as well

 

[Perennial Lurker]

You can already see why the club snapped him up. He looks so similar to early Vik. He works hard , has an edge to him , looks to get in behind and will give his teammates pelters when needed to.
He looks a bargain already

 

[torchomatic]

My new favourite player.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

He will be ours for many many years to come, and I believe if he sticks it out with us and we go up and finds that finishing touch and continues to progress as he already has he will be a top premier league player and maybe a coventry city legend

 

[MTK]

I like him already, especially in the cup game where he made his debut. But he got booked for that challenge on their keeper on Saturday and then had to hold back a bit afterwards. I don't know if it was a fair booking because I haven't watched it back but he gave the ref the reason to think about it. Just needs to get that balance between aggression and effective aggression right. Love that he is so keen so don't want this to sound too critical. Much rather he has that passion and tempers it than not have it

It was a very deserved booking , he went straight through the keeper after the ball had gone .

I think his attitude could be very productive in the dressing room and on the training pitch . I can see him demanding high standards of others

Yeah. I think I saw him giving Eccles a right earful at one point, but also immediately went over to EMC when his cross aimed at Bassette was cut out to say unlucky.

Good balance of encouragement and demanding more from his team mates. I like the look of him so far.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

This actually is showing up where a lot of where our issues are. I've said for a while we don't have enough fight and are too soft, and it feels this is being even more validated not only by recent performances, but by the fact one young hungry player has come in who's showing some of the others up.

I wouldn't be against sticking him in the starting team, personally.

I think a lot of our defensive players .. Thomas , Bidwell, Kitching and Lati show a lot and are vocal but there is little of it in more advanced areas

Yeah, I do agree with that point. I guess it makes it seem even more daft why many of them are sitting on the bench.

 

[Winny the Bish]

More aggression in Norman's eyebrows than Simms entire body.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Yeah, I do agree with that point. I guess it makes it seem even more daft why many of them are sitting on the bench.

I think our best combo is still Kitching and Thomas even allowing for Thomas indifferent start to the season

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Love Norman so far. Coming over at 19 and having the fight and determination of him should push the rest of them on. Also think our tactic if it is to work as is, it needs the st to come to the ball and set up the areas around which I thought he did well at Oxford. Depending on how he trains I’d be tempted to start him next game.

Can't see many arguments against starting him next game to be honest

 

[Nick]

Only issue is I think he would be better in a 2 up front.

Or BTAs energy playing behind him?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

You know in someways I think he would be great with Simms. Think he would do a lot of the work needed to allow simms to play as a poacher in the box. One of the big reasons I advocate the 4-4-2 a lot.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I think BTA should start in CAM next game with Eccles and Sheaf behind him, then we’ll have the energy and hard yards run

I know we bought BTA as a striker but his work rate is on a par with what we used to get from O'Hare

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

He really reminds me of a better version of the old O’hare in ways, different olayers for sure but have some similarities

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

We got a big Belgian on our side
Plays for City in sky blue and white
Scoring goals is what he does best
And he goes by the name of Norman Bassette

 

[Offhegoes]

Considering Saka could be out for Watford, I think BTA & Bassette deserve a start, so most likely Simms will need to drop out.
Pray that Sheaf is back too.

 

[ccfc922]

Hopefully the other players not giving 100% don't group together and isolate him cus he's showing them up for being apathetic.

 

[Boicey]

I like what I've seen from Bassette but in the end you have to deliver if you have 'attitude' with team mates.
He needs a good assist or goal in the next couple.
I guess he's best in a two, maybe try BTA (although I'm not seeing what others are in him tbh).
But Robins definitely needs to sort how we press or not. Bassette is doing it on his own. A bit mad we are so disorganised around that.

I was straight in line with the challenge, he made absolutely no contact with the keeper, the keeper played the ref and lino.

Maybe hold off on that until he actually scores a goal!
