Me too. Chalk on toast is delicious.Bassette and Simms are Chalk and Cheese, I know which one I Prefer.
Kicked the ball away. Was the best booking since Kasey Palmer at Wolves.
But in place of who?you Could also say if simms was on for 90mins last night he probably scores, hes had hardly any service,if our midfield had played every game like that he’d have a few more by now, Bassette looks good but its one game,simms still starts for me
Yeah this time last season we had the ghost of Matty Godden up front times are getting betterIt's great that were having this debate, at least we now have options!
I see the cycle is repeating again. New player has a couple of good games and now has to replace last seasons top goal scorer.
Until the next stage when the initial honeymoon period is over and the new player then isn't good enough.
Simms and Wright are first choice, with Saka out, I'd give him a go out there.

Bassette will be the new Gyokeres. 2025/26 will be the season of Norman bullying defences.
Can't agree with this at all.I see the cycle is repeating again. New player has a couple of good games and now has to replace last seasons top goal scorer.

Can't argue about the point that he's looking better than Simms & Wright at the beginning, he is. My point is that he's had 1, maybe two good performances and now he's the new Gyokeres and has to start.Can't agree with this at all.
Big Norm is head and shoulders above what we saw from Wright and Sims at this time last season, there's literally no comparison.
If Bassette continues to impress and develop he'll be a first team starter this season, so someone will get dropped.
Wright has missed to sitters in the last 2 games, and Simms doesn't work anywhere near as hard as Bassette and doesnt have the pace or movement, so if Norm adds a goal or 2 in the next few games, the shirt it his.
So basically you're saying calm down dear.Can't argue about the point that he's looking better than Simms & Wright at the beginning, he is. My point is that he's had 1, maybe two good performances and now he's the new Gyokeres and has to start.
I feel we do similar to the media on England footballers, build them up then dump them.
I think he's had a great start and looks exciting but I know then I'll find myself defending him when he can't keep up the same intensity and the tide turns and "we should have spent the money on a midfielder" comments.
If he continues to out do the others with G/A then he'll get his chance. I would give him a go on the right while Saka is out but give me a choice who I'd want in the box, it would be our best finisher, Simms.

Totally agree and why can't we love both ?I really rate simms and actually think, apart from a couple of misses, has had a good start to the season. He leads the line very well and I’m increasingly impressed with just how strong he is.
Bassette though…”he only 19”!! Has become my mantra. Looks like he’s got potential to be special.
I think Bassette has been very fortunate to come into a relatively settled team/squad whereas Simms and Wright didn't . This time last season we were trying to play wingbacks and a central defensive three and the whole shape and system wasn't quite right .Can't agree with this at all.

Should be getting a good 30 minutes off the bench for the foreseeablePeople absolutely spaffing their pants about a striker who hasn’t even scored a goal yet.
Give it time. Simms still first choice. Bassette has impressed and should definitely get more mins off the bench in the league.
He also holds the record for the best red cardKastaneer headlock from subs bench is still up there

Yeah forget about the plan/model we're following?Should be getting a good 30 minutes off the bench for the foreseeable
He will but he's going to have to be patient, while we get some fund's for Simms or Haji or both likely this summer or before in the case of Haji!Bassette doesn't strike me as someone who would let expectation weigh him down
He's certainly got a swagger about him, I think he'll justify the hype.

As predicted, Simms has been dropped, despite being rested for 70 mins against Spurs.I think Bassette has been very fortunate to come into a relatively settled team/squad whereas Simms and Wright didn't . This time last season we were trying to play wingbacks and a central defensive three and the whole shape and system wasn't quite right .
And your suggestions about Simms application on the pitch are way off the mark to be honest .
Bassette has had a great start and looks to have huge potential but Simms and Wright are still the starting pair up top alongside whoever plays on the right
Fair play to Robins, would've been easy to stick with SimmsAs predicted, Simms has been dropped, despite being rested for 70 mins against Spurs.
Bassette has 100% earnt the right to start, and yes, he'll need managing as he's still an inexperienced youngster etc etc, but you can't not play him after his recent performance.
Simms now knows he has serious competition for the shirt, that has to be good for everyone at the club.Fair play to Robins, would've been easy to stick with Simms
Yea and Godden wasn’t really an option … totally ineffectiveSimms now knows he has serious competition for the shirt, that has to be good for everyone at the club.
A big difference to last season when Godden was the only serious alternative.
