Hes got pace and seems to have a great character and he’s keen as mustard. Aside from that, he’s poor.

West Brom had our pants down, he’s next to useless!

 

[clint van damme]

Thought we should have brought Simms on instead of him in the first batch of subs.
Lovely finish for the disallowed goal though

On speaking down at Bristol to his parents , he loves ( loved ) Robin’s & that’s why he jumped from signing at Hull , to sign for us …. He’s another Tony Daley , but without the talent I’m afraid ……. Poor signing & another £2 mill that could have gone towards our midfield !

You don't finish like that if you are a donkey that's for sure

Same as his goal against Spurs, in low from the left, if that's what he likes, give it to him!

 

[skybluecam]

The decision to sign both him and Bassette looks odder every game.

But he also shouldn’t have strayed offside there - then he wouldn’t have had to back-heel it even though that was a lovely finish.

Thinking slightly out loud here. But the type of role he's being asked to play seems completely unsuited to him. He's seeing a lot of the ball which requires him to bring others into play or move the ball up the pitch quickly whether that be through a pass or carrying the ball.

Rather than dropping deep (which i've noticed he does as he's a bit of a ball follower) he'd be much better in the poacher mould where balls are thread through to him and he can use his athleticism and pace to cut in behind or he's latching onto a cross by drifting to the near post.

All the WBA peeps I know just laugh at the fact we paid a couple of million for him - he is pretty average tbf so I don't blame em

Much easier when you're in an offside position though.

It was a difficult finish even in offside position

 

[shmmeee]

Just the way we signed him wasn’t right, I wouldn’t have gave up any of viks sell on %

If he goes for less than the sell on it’s a good move tbf

 

[Pezza]

Very poor again today.

 

[ms639]

Had a couple of class performances and a couple of stinkers, again hasn’t had a run that’s allowed him to find form. Overly harsh I think.

Was incredible against Blackburn and spurs, people claiming he’s a shit player have no idea

I'm not sure about that as much as I don't rate him, we need 4 strikers in the squad

 

[skybluecam]

Do we? I expect Lampard to play with a lone striker, no need for 4 then.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I mean we were signing for 433

we have Wright who plays LW as well
BTA who can play off the wing
Bassette who looks like he can do the same
Only looks like Simms who is limited to a central striker role.

I think Bassette was signed for development initially

 

[JSL]

The problem with that is we need to score than we conceded to win and we leak goals for fun. We need ti sort the defence out before we play a lone striker

?

Most of the highest scoring teams in world football play with a lone striker.

 

[Great_Expectations]

He’s frustrating but could be useful if played in the right way.

We played with more of a press today so I can see why he came on over Simms, but I worry each time BTA gets the ball in a deeper area as he’s technically not great.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

But made easier because he was offside.

But still a great finish which a donkey couldn't do ffs

Injuries and suspensions never happen of course

It was a tap in from an offside position. He’s really not worth the 2million we got stung for.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

What position was he predominantly played in last season for West Brom, anyone?

 

[skybluecam]

They do but we could deffo drop 1.

Simms, Bassette, Wright then Tavares would be fine.

 

[shmmeee]

then Tavares would be fine.

No

We should of left Bassette on imo.
Twice the player Simms and BTA are.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Centre forward

 

[skybluecam]

No

As 4th choice!

We've got one good right back in the squad yet for some reason we need 4 good strikers even if we only play 1???

 

[The watchmaker]

With you on this one but can only assume when BTA signed Bassette didn't look on and then Bassette was too good to turn down.

We’ve got four and play one but none of them are great on their own TBH. And first choice all fit and firing Wright and Simms are both in the side.
