Yeah I fear we’re asking an awful lot of Bassette today. He will need to make a nuisance of himself to open up space for Rudoni and Torp, otherwise we will be quite easy for Sheff Utd to deal with.

He certainly puts himself about more than Simms

I thought it was a 2019/20 style box?

Yep guess it could be with both Torp and Rudoni further forward

Doesn’t scream goals does it but in fairness he doesn’t have too many attacking options

541 is such a stodgy formation if you don’t dominate the ball.

Basette not really fitting the profile of being able to play the 1 , unless we plan to be very direct and try run in behind

Maybe bassette will leave one in on hamer or O'Hare? I've got a twitch thinking about it

Looks like a box midfield to me behind bassette as the lone striker.

Norman is going to be isolated, feel for the lad.

In my mind he’s probably best. We know he can hassle the back line and chases the ball like a puppy

If it can get the best out of Torp and Rudoni it could work well, but we need to get them on the ball in dangerous areas and not have them sucked back into a flat four defending all game.

My worry is, the box has only really worked with Jamie Allen making those 3rd man runs behind the striker. Neither Torp nor Rudoni are that type of player.

My worry is it’s the Spurs tactic of “just make yourself a nuisance while everyone else defends”, which is giving Sheff Utd far more respect at home than they deserve.

Disappointed that Betfair isn’t offering odds on big Norm breaking someone’s nose early doors.

Will really depend on how Bassette does. Hopefully not isolated up front while we play 9ATB. Needs players to be brave and push up and support him. He’s not Vik and won’t be able to win the battle on his own or hold up for support much.

I can’t see past this happening, we’ve seen it so many times.

Based on the warm-up shooting practice, I’m glad Torp is starting and BTA isn’t.

If Carr has got this right, it will certainly raise his profile. Like the professionalism and calmness in front of the camera.

Hope the ref can keep up with play. I thought he was one of the Sheff United coaching staff during the warm up!
