His biggest moment for us was making a red card offence into an even bigger red card offence.

I'm not saying he's a poor player. He just hasn't come along at the same speed of ourselves. Not all transfers work. I just don't see a place for him in this squad or position he would get to play without multiple injuries. We need players that would be in contention for a place in the team with just a single player out.

Hes played 500 minutes in the championship

Getting excited for this which I didn't expect, think I'm still basking in the glory of Saturday. Now to decide whether to fork out £70 for a train or drive into London at rush hour...

Wilson
KKH Thomas Kitching Brau
Grimes
Andrews Rudoni
Rapha Simms EMC

A bit of rotation but still gives us a good chance to win. Grimes, Rudi, EMC off at 60'. 1-0, EMC

Trouble is he is all mouth and no trousers.

Bassette reacts to his goal against Pompey from all of 2 yards as though he has struck a worldie.

I see nothing wrong with a player - particularly a young one - getting excited when he scores a goal, however easy it was. A lot of us get excited and we’re not even on the pitch.

I’d quite like it if Simms would display even a brief flicker of delight when he scores.

bit of a difference between going 1-0 up and an equaliser...

I don't see anything wrong with Bassette's enthusiasm on the pitch, it's clearly his work behind the scenes that is the problem.

And he should've buried a 1 on 1 about 10 mins later and if he did, the match might have had a different outcome.

Yes, we’d have lost 4-2 instead. Bloody Collins

What a shameful day that was. Really felt for Collins. Whether he fucked up or not he didn't deserve the abuse he got from some of the morons in our fan base.

Said it before but he genuinely looked like he was going to cry when he looked back at the crowd after watching a replay of the 4th, on the screen above the away end.

Andrews96 · Tuesday at 1:35 PM

Any chance anyone has two tickets going for this one? I live in London so can pick up anywhere in London/ near the ground and pay cash

It really wasn't nice watching him punch his head.

And also maybe Bassettes sky blue career......

procdoc · Tuesday at 1:42 PM

Be interesting to see how many actually turn up tonight. I know loads of people that bought tickets and aren’t going because they rightly think £12 for 30 points is a bargain

I agree, there is no excusing foul abuse of your own players at the game. It was an atrocious performance though.

it’s not right but I’m sure it used to happen a lot more than it does now.

Having said that, There was a home game last year - Norwich? Sheffield Wednesday? - where we’d lost and were shite. The vast majority near me were clapping the players off the pitch.
I mean I ain’t gonna hurl abuse at them but fuck that too!

If I’m pissed off at a performance I just stay neutral. That away day at Portsmouth though, people will have travelled early and gotten either coked or pissed up or both. That explains most of the cunty behaviour in any fan base.

Except for Birmingham

Until it went 1-1 in that Portsmouth game we were completely dominant, should have been 2-0 up and looked like we'd win at a canter. I think that's why the reaction was harsh.

Yeah, neutrality is best I’d say.

I’ve read that the Players hear a lot of what is being said in the crowd, especially goalkeepers I’d guess. I wasn’t at that game but must’ve been awful for him.
His confidence was clearly shot as the season progressed. I can’t see anyway back for him with us. Seems to be a very different character to Wilson.

Houchens Head · Tuesday at 2:44 PM

Cba to read the whole thread, so I'll just ask quickly.... if it's still a draw after 90 mins, will there be extra time or straight to penalties?

Straight to pens.

No extra time outside of the final.

Yep. Bizarre game. Portsmouth looked nervy and completely devoid of confidence until they equalised. If Bassette scores that 1 on 1 we win the game without getting out of second gear.

He left over 2 years ago?

Yes but he should still have some idea he will know some of the players very well.

He’s the one who signed Tanganga I think?

shmmeee · Tuesday at 3:16 PM

Who would you have on the pitch if we’re drawing at 80 mins?

Wright and Torp obviously, Grimes probably. Not sure after that.

Are you still trying to decide between Rushworth and Wilson?

Kitching strikes clean af. Has the aura of a CB that would step up and pelt it into the roof of the net.

Pity Eccles isn’t available, his pen at Wembley was top notch.

shmmeee · Tuesday at 3:38 PM

Simms has never scored a pen (taken 1) so probably not him.

When he stepped up at Oxford you just knew, it was almost as obvious as Dabo.

Probably.

Get Lampard registered and bring him on with seconds to go…

Sky Blue Harry H said:
Probably been covered before, but hasn't it been said the Bassette swore (presumably in a petulant manner) at Lampard, which is the cause of the fallout. Lampard showing his inner Clough?!

Vibes!! Les entente terrible!!

That was definitely FL just joking with them.

He was smiling while watching them, and smiling as he said that line.

Exactly how I saw it
