See if Simms was off as rumoured it would make sense to sign him as an experienced player.

Without Simms going tho just leaves us way to much depth especially as I think Mason and Haji will be playing together and rotation in between the ST and LW roles.

Will say tho if we wanted a godden replacement 1/1 we should have gone for Langstaff. Feel he would do really well here with his movement or Joe Taylor from Luton

1 goal in 21 at Millwall isn’t a great return though, albeit we probably create more than they do…

not hit the heights expected as yet

Tom cannon would have been a better buy if we could have got him

I suppose it depends whether you see EMC/Haji as competition for that CF role. I think both are great on the left so would be loath to move them making BTA the only direct back up to Simms at the point we signed him.

Still, Millwall thread - EMC is a big loss - keeping it tight at the back is vital here as if we concede more than 1 I think we will be in trouble. I'm hoping we have a 2-0 in us.

Not yet granted but he’s really had the best time I don’t think. Started around half of not wrong playing a direct style which won’t really suit him imo.

I'm convinced Norman's inclusion is Lampard sending a message to Simms.
Seeing Jimmy87s comments on another thread I think the message is sinking in.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him start tomorrow

Just think that Lampard should get Dr Claire to do some genetics shit and put Bassette's brain into Simm's body.

Simms is so frustrating to watch.We all know he can score goals but this season he looks like he is not interested, hence why he is not starting, he should have kicked on this season, what has gone wrong with him?

More offsides than Bakayoko and looks less likely to score. Honestly no idea why Bassette is getting a free pass all the time.

Because he works hard, has a bit about him and quite young to be playing regularly leading the line in the championship?

He doesn’t get free pass, but also unsure why he is the butt of a load of criticism when he’s been involved in some decent performances. It’s pretty clear he is not the issue in this team.

Maybe Sheaf has lent his Gold Free Pass Card? Or maybe because he presses and runs his socks off every game. Shows some effort unlike a few others in the team.

They weren’t 20 years old when they played here, having moved to a different country.

He was all over the place wasn't he. Trying to beat the opposition, single handedly.

If Ahmedhodzic didn’t get sent off, Bassette wouldn’t be so highly rated on here.

Well currently Bassette is on course to beat that statistic, at 20 years old, playing in a new country and a new league.

That therefore is the point - people don’t consider these things.

If people watched football enough to understand it just a little, they’d have seen EMC would be okay and Bassette will too.

He’s more of a modern day pressing monster than Simms is. He’s work to do on lots of things but Lampard is about winning it high up the pitch and currently he’s best at that

He got a standing ovation from some the other day for doing little.

People like him because he runs around a lot but is there sufficient evidence that he’s actually contributing positively to results?

But not Thomas-Asante, I think is the narrative.

Always reminded me of that bit in Star Wars on the Death Star when Han Solo shouts "arrrgghhh" and chases after a load of storm troopers singlehandedly.

Passed to Sheaf who crossed to Saka. Played to EMC who laid it off to Eccles. So yes.
