It was the cut back and set up for rudoni’s deflected one which I liked. I actually think the ball into him could’ve been better but he showed pace (obviously), awareness and skill to cut inside and set him up…rather than trying to shoot.
He looked good. Long may it continue.

That was Wright's second, when Wright reversed it into the the far corner.

Oh yeah! Well, that one then. My memory is all over the place. I blame the 90s!

I'd agree with you if Rapha goes out on loan.

We only have 25 places available in the squad, and hes not likely to feature, hes already behind BTA who would fill in on either wing before Rapha (imho) not to mention pushing a FB further forward.
So hes just taking up a squad position unnecessarily.

If FL sees Godo as being better than Rapha and can move Rapha on, then great, go get him. But its moving players on that's proving to be difficult.

Disagree about Rapha personally. I like what I've seen and think he could be a useful squad player.

Possibly, but if we do bring Godo in (for eg) and a CH, who do we leave out the 25 man squad?

Or more than that.

Collins would definitely be one. The other is a good question, and I'm not sure if I know the answer. Allen maybe? But that seems a little harsh.

Collins, Bidwell, Raphael, Bassette, Simms.

There's plenty of options and much to debate, im sure we would have players lined up to replace them, but the issue is who would take them off our hands first?

You're working on the assumption no one moves on and we do bring in 2 players.
I wouldn't be surprised ifcthe only adition is a CB.

Think Collins and Bassette will definitely go
Lampard clearly doesn't like Basette, I'm sure he wants him out of the club at the first opportunity.

I’ve seen nothing so far to suggest he can reach the level of EMC/Sakamoto. Not really getting the hype.

Sorry if I missed elsewhere, why was BTA sat in the dugout whilst rest of team was celebrating on the pitch?? This still taken from a few mins after final whistle…

 

[Speedie's Head]

Edit
I'd also add that he's shown he can have an impact on the left or right side.
Maybe Frank has been working on him during pre-season, we certainly look more fluid, and the likes of Torp are now looking more dangerous this season.
Although the quality of opposition hasn't been the best so far.

Lampard said that BTA was the player who came back the fittest after the break. It looked that way preseason to me, his touch wasn't there then but he was getting into dangerous positions and looking lively. His touch is coming I think. We shouldn't forget that he scored 10 for West Brom, that's decent in my book.

Why would we not sign that Godo?

We don’t want to be waiting for Godo.

He was out with the rest of them quite shortly after that. He wouldn't join in with the other goal scorers giving the crowd a fisting at the end. Too shy and not into that sort of thing.

Wouldn't the budget be better spent elsewhere, don't know myself?

Can't imagine he would be a significant spend.

 

[long way home]

Who knows, but he sort of hinted with EMC in an interview post game. He was taking a lot in on the day he had just had and the news the players walked into. Probably soaking in the fact the fans are seeing why we signed him..

In my opinion i think he is a very thoughtful lad with a big heart. Its been a long road for him and maybe feels like now he belongs, so wanted a quiet moment. . FL picked him out and sort of explained BTA journey at the club.
