BS3_RED Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Basso got lucky 3 times today with dodgy handling and we could easily have have lost. So will Weale now get a chance or will Basso stay in because of what he has done in the past? For me, time to give Weale a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunners2006 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Not sure what to make of this one, Basso is Basso though, makes simple saves look amazing, makes impossible saves look simple, and simple saves look impossible, where as Weale is just a ''normal'' Keeper.

Nibor Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'd tend to agree that shipping 10 goals in 4 games plus 3 very dodgy incidents tonight is a reason to give Weale a run, but I'd be cautious about making another change so soon after completely switching the back four.

Probably the hardest position in the team to change, but he doesnt seem to be having the best of times at the moment and maybe Weale needs his chance.. Weale is a quality keeper and he could do an excellent job for us, trouble is Basso is almost legendary to alot of fans and as you say, makes impossible saves look so easy at times..

On balancen I'd stick with Basso. It's tough on the one not in the side but I'd only change keeper as a last resort. Earlier in the season we mixed & matched & all that happened was both became error prone. Basso "got away with it" tonight no doubt, but ultimately no harm was done.

I'd be very wary about changing goalies at the moment. Basso is not having the best of times at the moment but we need to try and keep a bit of continuity in the team. Pick your eleven best players, pick the formation you want to play, and go with it for more than 1 or 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Youell Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 It's only been 3 games. Christ if Harry is sticking with Gomez I think we can 'put up' with Basso a few more games! All keepers have blips, if we are still leaking goals the other side of Xmas then I'd agree. But if we were going to replace every player for not playing to their full potential after a few games off the boil no players would have any confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we were going to replace every player for not playing to their full potential after a few games off the boil no players would have any confidence You also have to remember that Weale has played very well in several games this season and was dropped for one mistake. If we want to keep two quality keepers they must be treated the same or one will lose interest and eventually move on. I believe that it would be good for both Basso and Weale if the change was made now as I am sure that Basso would come back to the side playing the way that we all expect of him, It's not a case of dropping a poor keeper it's the opportunity to give another very good keeper a chance.

Ashton Great Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 but ultimately no harm was done. Got to disagree there - I felt Basso should have saved their goal. I realise it was well placed in the corner but he was an awful long way out and for any keeper to get beaten from there when he has a clear sight of the ball is disappointing. I still wouldn't drop him though, his moments of brilliance far outweigh the odd mistake that he (and all other keepers) make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I think it's because he doesn't wear that flourescent green top anymore like he used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt agree with that, I was sat right behind the goal. it was well hit, with curl and nestled into the bottom corner. I dont think you can blame him for that.

Longacre_red Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Does any body else agree that his kicking is pretty poor, and as a result puts us on the back foot?? I say this becasue the midfield always have to turn and head towards our goal before heading it? I think Basso was very lucky last night and was suprised he didnt go off injured.

My Mrs said when I got in (after seeing it on the news) what was Basso doing for the goal? and she is never wrong. He'd still be in my team in front of Weale.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 He'd still be in my team in front of Weale. Basso as centre half. Interesting new angle, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbespm Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 i've not been impressed with basso this season at all. not confident on crosses,spills the ball too much an poor kicking.however the fans love him and has to make a lot of mistakes to be dropped unlike weale.
