Pulled out of the Chelsea v Morecambe game due to food poisoning.

That law doesn't apply for 2nd bookings.

Vale obviously much further on in his development & has first team experience out on loan, but we're obviously desperate for a ball winning 4 now with the Sheaf injury.

"Regularly" He's played 105 minutes across their 6 European games, 86 of them in 1 game. When he's been with the U21s he's on the bench except for 1 start.

He's a very talented young boy & will have an exciting career imo, but I really wouldn't expect too much at this stage. He's not even a regular starter for Chelsea U21s currently.

Well that would be fair if any of it was actually true... Bassette only started 2 league games under Robins. 1st one he was subbed off & EMC came on & played LW. 2nd one we played a back 3 without wingers so not sure how EMC could play LW then. BTA has never started a game on the left wing...

1 good game in 9 (against the poorest opposition we've ever played at this level). He's gone from being out most consistent player to not even a guaranteed starter & when he has played he's been poor with the exception of that game vs Plymouth.

I don't think anyone has questioned his ability or pedigree, more the fact he hasn't played in almost 2 years.

Tbf, he has only played for them twice. Once in early November & then again about 3 weeks ago.

I know I'm in the minority here but I think BTA is a useful player & ideal as a pressing forward. His lack of technique badly lets him down as we've seen but he'll get into good positions & eventually score a few if he's given the time. Again, his lack of game time isn't helping him or us & he's...

I think people are looking for positives that aren't really there. Sheaf has been up & down all season (more down than up unfortunately) but Eccles has only fallen off a cliff since Lampard came in. We also actually have less successful crosses per game now than we did before Lampard. We...

In terms of longevity and legacy then you can't really argue. In terms of ability, he's not even our best ever goalkeeper.

It probably looks like I've got a thing against Bassette at this point but I really don't. There's a hell of a talent there & he could be some player in the future if coached & nurtured correctly. At the moment though, Lampard is doing neither the team or the player any favours by selecting him...

Well, he's had the customary ACL injury a year ago so that's another box ticked 👍🏻

Best wishes!

Had he not been totally devoid of confidence from being abused by his own 'supporters' he probably takes that on & buries it himself. Karma.

Agreed. As @Jimmy87 said, we have been so disjointed & those early games he really wasn't getting a sniff in the build up. He is in the bottom 15% of all forwards in the division for total touches yet when he does get it, he's dangerous. Top 15% for Carries into the Penalty Area & Top 3% for...

He started 8/12 under Robins, including 6 of the first 7. He's shown in patches what he can do but needs to do more. He's clearly a complex character that needs to be properly coached.
