Bassette rather than Simms; utterly mystified

Without Sakamoto in the way maybe MVE might put in some runs

I wonder if Frank regards this as a free hit. Likely to lose, might as well learn something

Exactly this, people will slate him, but how is he expected to get going. Despite the obvious Simms trolls, most on here can see that he did well at Cardiff and was the better of a bad bunch. Dropped after scoring against Watford, dropped after scoring and finally looking like he was getting going against Luton. Very much a confidence player, but gets dropped again.

Exactly

If attitude or following instructions is the problem then he shouldn’t be starting at all, it seems very odd to keep giving him one start where he does alright then immediately back to the bench.

I feel for the kid. Let's hope todays line up go out there and put the Cardiff performance to bed.

I do but to be honest he’s really not shown the best side of himself when he’s been on. But then neither has anyone else in the squad really.

I just hope that we don't get hammered and our supporters start getting on his back.

More I look at it more I’m convinced it’s 433 with Lati RB and MvE RW.

I’d imagine Lampard doesn’t want to rip up the work on his system if he doesn’t have to while they’re still learning.

Pretty fucked off Simms was dropped, played well last match and is clearly a confidence player. Never going get going if dropped constantly

There will be more press with this team with BTA, Norm and Allen. We looked lacklustre against Cardiff on that front.

That line up would suggest that Frank is already as lost as MR was at the end. They both seem to have no real idea who the best players actually are and how they should start……not saying I or anyone else would either

Ah yes, has this come from someone on here saying 'he just looks thick'. There's been no complaints about his training and he's not considered one of the bad eggs.

Taking into account our recent record at Norwich, our current form and that team selection you have to say 21/20 on Norwich looks overpriced.

All this tells me is that the players we signed to play the system we want have not worked. Whether it’s lamps or MR we’ve changed system back and forth all season long.

Exactly. Who does deserve to start really? How can he show the best of himself without having a run starting in the team.

Lampard can't win whatever he does with the players available. If he continues with the same side and we can't get a run going it's down to him. If he uses different players it's also down to him.

Simms will be back in soon. Think he’s benched so Bassette can run and not cause much trouble on the counter.

It's not. Very unpleasant, but definitely not career ending.

It’s Bassette rather than Sheaf as we’re away at a place where we’ll need players to cover lots of ground hassling and harrying. Step forward BTA and Bassette
