Really liked him, thought he must have something for him to come to a different country at 19. Definitely should have had an assist when he put it across for Brandon. Looking forward to seeing how robins and co can develop him.

Solid debut but I'm not going to base his future on 60minutes of football.

He gives us another dimension and will hopefully get plenty of game to help him develop. It's great to have so many options across our forward line.

He did this for Asantes goal. He’d made a great run in between the defenders, perfectly in line and was showing where he wanted the ball.

Robins will work with Asante. He usually makes strikers better... (Ponticelli aside)

There were a few moments, not just from Bassett but EMC and BTA as well where you felt a couple of months down the line with communication issues sorted people would have found them/they’d have found others.

Pace. Been crying out for someone with blistering pace for years.

Now we’ve got three players who are just rapid-MVE, BTA and Bassy.

Means in times of real pressure we can lump it up field into space and watch them tear teams apart.

Can’t wait.

When we’re under pressure / playing a low block against the bigger teams, he seems the ideal man to be playing on the defenders shoulder waiting for a ball over the top on the counter.

BTA’s finishing is erratic but that can be coached. I thought he was a constant threat last night, as was EMC

Not to get too carried away, but I remember another teenager that we signed a few years ago doing exactly that on his debut.

Irish lad. Wonder what happened to him??

Edit - Bugger, beaten to it by Fernando...

I would probably include Adam Armstrong as well, think he was only 17 when he came here on loan but was already displaying real quality and football intelligence way beyond his years.

I just hope that, when he does bulk up, he doesn’t lose some of his pace.

Well Gyokeres didn’t exactly lose pace he looked like he got quicker the more he bulked up

He didn't appear to me as needing building up, he looks like a unit even now.
I thought it was a excellent debut 🩵

It was a light-hearted comment, hence me posting an image of Mr Creosote.

It looks as if we will have to wait until next year but I’m really looking forward to seeing Rodrigues.

He’s a good player but his end product can be frustrating. That ‘cross’ at 1-0 that went to no one should have been a shot - a great example of overplaying!

This is what MR actually said a few days ago, although I’m sure I have read somewhere that he is unlikely to match fit before the turn of the year.



It would be great if he is back before then.

Makes me excited for the next week tbh because surely we do not spend on this guy if we’re not also going to spend elsewhere. Would be non-sensical to bring in another striker if it was going to use up the last of the budget.

Never get excited when it comes to City.

That's massive!

I assume maybe because he's already with the 21s? Great experience though. May not help his ego

Brilliant news. Looks a real talent, think he'll be our best player in a couple of years (out of the current crop.)

only 16 outfield players in the squad according to that tweet so he'll at least be on the bench

With Wright out just okay him up front with Simms.

Get Tatsu and EMC of the right and left wings and just feed them the goals.

He’s going to be some player so let’s give him a run now.
