Bassey

[scottyc06 6,915]

Say what you want.. but he gets it! He literally celebrates every goal this way! 

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

He is fantastic and will make us huge money some day.

He is only like 6 months older than Patterson, and to be quite honest, he should be considered every bit as much of a prospect.

There was one moment in the second half when he was getting frustrated with the lack of movement and drove through their midfield himself. Unfortunately he slipped a belter, but it seemed to spark the rest of team into life a bit. I could see him adding this to his game from centre back.

Looking like a good move from gio to drop balogun for him, he’s very fast, solid, big and reliable, he will make this position his own , I have no doubt.

[Ayrshire Blue 2,053]

I really think he’ll be a player for us one day soon - he’s rough about the edges but he’s a feckin monster with talent too.

Hopefully Gio will get the best out of him.

Fingers crossed, played some good stuff tonight.

Balogun’s injured so it’s an enforced swap. But it could be a blessing in disguise.

My man of the match

[JM1872 3,708]

I like Bassey and think he has all the attributes. A few hairy moments now and then but he is still under 30 professional appearances if I’m correct? Raw is an understatement. Will benefit playing next to Goldson and then another experienced, quality CB when Goldson moves on - and we know he can put in more than a shift at LB too.

Balogun is injured, he wasn't dropped

[scottyc06 6,915]

What we saying then? Developed into a CB? 

[Zappa6995 3,645]

I like him, I like him a lot 👍

Still young and a wee bit raw but given time I think he will be a real big player for us especially the league we play in.

I like the big man, but that’s an insane shout

He has the tools. Also defenders with agility go a long way. Modern defenders like David Alaba, Van Dijk are all quite agile and it improves their games. He has that agility along with strength and the other attributes to become a too defender. Will only get better with experience.

We kept a clean sheet!. Bassey was a big part of that.

I see a lot of potential in him 

 

[stuart1994 4,302]

Fair to say was dreading him playing last week at centre half against Prague, but delighted to be proved to wrong, 3 solid performances long may it continue. 

[the goal machine 7,801]

Still raw as a footballer but has all the physical attributes and looks like he genuinely enjoys defending. Great option to have in the squad.

How the fuck can you compliment that? It was awful and not the only time he lost possession with loose passes. (Everyone else as well). I like the big man but he was bang average tonight. Let's give praise where and when it is due.

Yes, doesn’t walk back into the team.

Have to admire his determination to change the game 👍🏻

[peter huistra 1,740]

Brilliant at winning the ball and hassling players when they are in possession just needs to learn to take up better positions but his pace gets him out of trouble when needed. 

Balogun will need to up his game when he comes back if he even gets back in. 

[Colin Traive 22,750]

Wish we had three or four like him.

Excellent Bassey

I think they will pull together. They have to get past the SG way of thinking at the moment. It won't last 👍🏻

There is always a mix of negativity in the BD. Wouldn't worry too much about that

He gave the ball away about twice in the 2nd half, higher up the pitch. Goldson actually done it twice nearer our own goal. Not slating Goldson as thought he was quite good aswell, but Bassey had a good game, and wasn't "bang average"

He tried to do a Bougherra and made a cunt of it. I find it strange that we are praising him for that.

Goldson and many others were guilty of bad passes in what was an uncommon night of constantly losing possession.

Great athlete, has a great attitude and has huge potential but he is not a CH despite decent performances filling in.
