Why was Bidwell 2nd btw. Ridiculous choice
Why was Bidwell 2nd btw. Ridiculous choiceDovin/Kitch/Simms come out top of the pile. Has to start forming that spine of the team for me.
Fair play to those sticking their hands up to take a pen, even if they missed. Takes bollox every time no matter what round.
I suppose nobody else volunteered and he had to go somewhere, you wouldn't put the weakest penalty taker on last!Why was Bidwell 2nd btw. Ridiculous choice

You should always arrange penalty takers in order of competence. “Saving” a good taker for the 5th is a poor strategy, since they may not even get to take. See: Ronaldo at that Spain/Portugal shootout in the euros once.I suppose nobody else volunteered and he had to go somewhere, you wouldn't put the weakest penalty taker on last!
Or Godden in our semi-final last season!You should always arrange penalty takers in order of competence. “Saving” a good taker for the 5th is a poor strategy, since they may not even get to take. See: Ronaldo at that Spain/Portugal shootout in the euros once.
only thing ill mention is bassette taking his shirt off and presenting his name to crowd, bit of a strange one.
Odd comment. He seems focused on his football?Desperate to build his profile that lad. Wish he focused half as hard on his football.

I've got no problem with it. Nothing wrong with a bit of passion. He's now playing in one of the top ten leagues in the world, he's young, give him a break.
Eh I didn’t like it about O’Hare either but at least he’d done some stuff. Just something I’m not a fan of in footballers. Like neck tattoos.
Just tiring a bit of the “I’ll die for this club” and playing to the fans stuff when he’s not done much on the pitch. The shirt thing just seemed more about that too. I dunno rubs me up the wrong way.
...... but if he was aloof or disinterested you would no doubt slate him for that judging from your recent posts!
Bassette is just an enthusiatic 20 year old, living the dream, with his life full speed ahead of him. While he's a bit hit and miss at the moment, if he turns into the real deal we will benefit big time, so let’s just support him and hope he lives up to those hopes.
It's not for the want of trying though is it, he always puts effort in.Just tiring a bit of the “I’ll die for this club” and playing to the fans stuff when he’s not done much on the pitch. The shirt thing just seemed more about that too. I dunno rubs me up the wrong way.
He's 19, that's what I'll put it down toDesperate to build his profile that lad. Wish he focused half as hard on his football.
im not against it, its just a strange one as the celebration was just a pen, but i like the enthusiasmTruly unhinged behaviour

Huh? He seems alarmingly immature to me.Has strong Vik vibes about him as far as seeming more mature and articulate than most.

He speaks well in the interview, but the constant diving, kiss-blowing, and celebrating a penalty shootout in the FA Cup 3rd round like you’ve just etched your name into immortality suggests he has some way to go on the pitch.Have you watched his recent interview? If not, I'd recommend it. Just seems a lot more naturally assured and confident than most, to me at least.
Surprised Nick's not put him in the banner yet tbhHe speaks well in the interview, but the constant diving, kiss-blowing, and celebrating a penalty shootout in the FA Cup 3rd round like you’ve just etched your name into immortality suggests he has some way to go on the pitch.
he has some way to go on the pitch.
In what ways?He's miles ahead of where Vik was at the same age
Don't disagree, but he is a kid. He's gonna do dumb sh*t. Has strong Vik vibes about him as far as seeming more mature and articulate than most. Genuinely think he could be a monster in a season or two. I can see him and Dovin going for Hamer levels of cash before too long.
In what ways?
Vik was playing in Sweden at the same age. Bassette is starting games in a stronger league. Vik turned 23 the summer he signed. Bassette turned 20 in Nov.
I think he's shown he has the attributes to progress in a similar way to Vik, physically and mentally. I think he's already started cutting down the diving bullsh*t, too.
There were two weeks between the Sunderland and Sheff Utd games. And then another 3 days before Burnley. And Dovin was on the bench for the latter two. Surely he was fit.
I'm just saying, I think Lampard would have stuck with whoever was starting to begin with. And I can understand not changing, especially given both of their experience levels.

He's a keeper. The only way they come off the bench is in case of injury, and there weren't any other keepers on the bench so you have to assume he was fit to play. And it was a head injury/suspected concussion right? So 2/3 weeks recovery he should've been fine.Fit but how fit? Fit enough for an emergency. Also perhaps a case of keeping him involved. Helping him to learn and acclimatise to the match day experience in the UK.
People can chunter all they like. Managers will pick the best players available. For me, Dovin looks better for his time out of the side.
We move on folks......
The only other footballer I’ve seen celebrate that way was Lionel Messi celebrating his 500th career goal during El Clasico. But I suppose a 3rd round win on penalties against Sheffield Wednesday merits a similar response!Shock horror footballer shows passion, you see lots of footballers do the same.
