Bench is better than the first team!

Team a bit of a surprise with bassette on his own up front. Big game for him today. Hopefully the four in midfield will get up and support and be able to slide balls through.
Big options on bench both in terms of personnel and shape

This is really the first post Robins match as we look like we might be playing a bit narrower. Box midfield is back.

Seems a bit negative in attack. But let’s see. Key will be playing Bassette into the channels he runs.

Will really depend on how Bassette does. Hopefully not isolated up front while we play 9ATB. Needs players to be brave and push up and support him. He’s not Vik and won’t be able to win the battle on his own or hold up for support much.

Can’t see how this lineup is gonna work, would have preferred Simms as a lone striker. But let’s see. Super Frank incoming anyway.

I'd be very suprised if we keep a clean sheet with that defence.
Even at my age and level of fitness, I think I'd fancy my chances of scoring against Binks and Dasilva.

Going to need very good passing into him otherwise it’s going to be pass sideways and backwards.

If it can get the best out of Torp and Rudoni it could work well, but we need to get them on the ball in dangerous areas and not have them sucked back into a flat four defending all game.

We will know in the first 15mins if this is going to work.

Yeah I fear we’re asking an awful lot of Bassette today. He will need to make a nuisance of himself to open up space for Rudoni and Torp, otherwise we will be quite easy for Sheff Utd to deal with.
