Coventry City U21s v Birmingham City tonight (2 Viewers)

[edgy]

It would be wise to remember the club we signed him from (Ligue 2) loaned him out last year

But wasn't that because he was being a bit of an arse?

Need to temper excitement on NB - credit he scored 4, however standard of football and opposition is miles away form championship level.

Not sure chucking him into a struggling team and just expecting magic is right way to handle him.

I don’t disagree generally. But on Bassette I’ve got to admit he’s got that dog in him and that’s rare in this squad and I’d like to see him getting at least the level of cameo Tavares enjoyed prior to this season.

Yeah, I worry when we have players like Tavares and Ponticelli who achieve almost mythical status by some (certainly a lot of the callers on CWR) just because they perform well in the U21's/reserves, but Bassette does seem to have more about him.

Good hungry option from the bench, but don't think he's ready for a starting place just yet

Wait until you find out he played his first 4 games in the first team.
Mind blown.

Having just watched the goals from the other night, two of them came from his harrying and pressing (and shit defending/goalkeeping) which is something we miss with Simms leading the line so no wonder there is some clamour to give him some minutes in the first team.

Plus his third strike was beauty.

Blimey just seen them, no exaggeration to say 6 of the goals would be pulled apart at U14 level

I know but the comment is still valid

Where are the highlights?

Bet we sign that keeper

Looking at those goals I think the only logical conclusion is that Birmingham's academy manager got the 2 and 1 the wrong way round when reading the fixture list and fielded their u12s.

I think what is clear and worth remembering is that Bassette himself despite costing a reasonable sum of money is only 19 and is clearly leagues ahead of most 19 year olds. Looks like a year 11 playing against a nursery team.

That assist where he faints the shot is magical

Absolute nonsense.
