I think the majority of players thought that eccles had scored, the ball takes the tiniest knock off bassette so if their vision was blocked i could definitely see that they didnt think he’d got a touch.Haven't caught up with any TV coverage yet but it struck me at the time that apart from maybe MVE, none of the team seem to celebrate with Bertie when he scored?
Any view from people at that end of the ground?
Yep, makes sense.I think the majority of players thought that eccles had scored, the ball takes the tiniest knock off bassette so if their vision was blocked i could definitely see that they didnt think he’d got a touch.

Same here, when they announced it as Bassette’s goal I thought they'd messed up, was expecting to see it change on the scoreboard but when you get to see the replay you realise its not Eccles goal.Definitely. Behind the goal, I was convinced it was Eccles’ goal despite Bassette’s air shot and didn’t even notice Bassette celebrating.
Might have already been said but there are as plenty of conversations going on with him on the pitch. Sheaf spoke to him at least twice, probably getting him to focus, beware of another yellow card.There's a massive rift in the camp, they don't like that he tells the senior players to press with him. Huge falling out, only Milan is talking to him.
I got that 4th hand.

Both BTA and Kitching spoke to him on the pitch when he came out to start the second half and they were warming up.
Conversations were all amicable so I think your source might have it wrong.
Not sure without looking back but really don't think it matters, that goal was really all about the cross which was superb but it wasn't a shot, Eccles wanted someone to get on the end of it. I'm not sure what part of Bassette it came off, it was probably a bit flukey but... first goal for the club. He is up and running, that will do him the world of good.Great ball from Eccles but wouldn't have gone in without Bassette's deft touch.... definitely his goal.
Bassette did really well to get between the centre backs with great timing,he guided it in with his ankle/boot.Not sure without looking back but really don't think it matters, that goal was really all about the cross which was superb but it wasn't a shot, Eccles wanted someone to get on the end of it.

He did really well to get into position but he missed the ball. It hit his shin. Def his goal though.
Wasn't going in anywayGot to say, it’s not the kind of goal to endear you to your team mates, getting a millimetre of shin pad on a ball that’s going in anyway.
He didn't miss the ball if he touched it likeHe did really well to get into position but he missed the ball. It hit his shin. Def his goal though.
Yeah he touched itJudge for yourselves.
Nothing to see here. They were all in quickly enough when he got pushed over.
Yeah he 100% touched itYeah he touched it
From my vantage it was obvious up in the corner,can see how it might have looked from behind though!Great ball from Eccles but wouldn't have gone in without Bassette's deft touch.... definitely his goal.
