Really liked the look of his youtube hilights, but we all what a fools errand taking notice of them is, but I think on this occasion maybe the impression they gave me is correct.

He's pretty quick and makes intelligent runs, there's a lot to like
Edit - he should have an assist to his name

Can see why we snapped Bassette up .

Eccles trying hard and hit some decent passes through .
DaSilva continuing his good start to the season .
Mason -Clarke looks low on confidence .
Jamie Allen just running around doing little
Palmer having one of his woeful days

Very impressed with Bassette. Good pace and his runs off the ball have been brilliant. When Allen is given some time on the ball, he knits things together. He is great at finding pockets of space.

The plan is to play inverted wide players, but because Haji and Tatsu are good with both feet you don't really notice it as much.

EMC needs to do a LOT more to impress me. Looking like a sunday league player (which he effectively was before 1 good season at Peterborough)

We’re probing, but haven’t created masses of clear cut chances.

Oxford look much better than the previous game despite the fact they haven’t scored. They are lacking a bit of quality, but so are we.

I’m hoping their defenders tire second half and our subs win us the game.

I would have EMC on the left, Bassette right and BTA down the middle.

Bit harsh. He's trying too hard imho. Needs to just relax a bit.

Bass looks like a steal on that showing: pace, strength, and some intelligent runs.

I think we need to give EMC a chance on the left ASAP; I’m hoping it’s just a confidence issue but, at the moment, he looks a million miles away from the League One player of the season

Midfield and EMC not really at the races yet but everyone else putting in a solid 7

What I like about bassette is he's going and getting involved , making the right runs and causing problems .

Very positive debut

Robins’ desired style is possessional build up. I really don’t like it - it’s slow and cumbersome.

the players we have are so much more suited to quicker counter attacking.

They are sitting very deep and hoping to hit us on the break

The atmosphere is a statement of fact, don't think anyone is moaning about it. It's just typical league cup, we just don't normally get to experience it.

Hard to play that way though when the team we play wants to sit in and do the same

Mmmm, Stormin Norman looks better than Thomas Assante already . Hardly seen the latter bloke do anything decent since he signed. Dominating overall, need to find the bloody onion bag now !

Bassette run was quality… before he even started to get on the ball his head was up & looking for support run. Finish was completely pony, which is a worry but expected after the Baggies reviews of him!

I'm not down with what seems to be people just having already decided bta is some donkey finisher.

Looks like Simms and Wright early last season , needs an assist or a scruffy goal and we will see him come good

You can't counter attack if the other team keeps putting all their players behind the ball

Bassette looks lively he can shift and has good movement. Asante and Mason clark need to switch sides.

As for the rest game is for the taking but we seem to lack clear minds. Its like we want someone else to take responsibility. We have our self to blame if we screw this up.

They have all their players 20 yards inside their own half at times , it's incredibly negative

Counter attacking probably not the best description.

we need to start moving the ball around quicker basically if we pass the ball side to side in front of a wall we’re not going to get anywhere.

we’re clearly the better team here, Bassette looks decent, but we’re not going to create much if we’re not moving them about
