martin Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 It really can't be anyone else! He was superb again today and yes I appreciate he has a good defence around him, but, for me at least, he has been our most important player this year, and 18 clean sheets, almost 1every 2 games is superb!

Robbored Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I'm sure Basso would be the first to say that the players in front of him have had a lot to with that statistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSN Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 each and every one of our defenders, orr, carey, mcombe, woodman, mcallister, keogh... every single one and ofcourse, Basso, have been a solid unit all season.If I had to give a player of the season, I couldnt pick between them. Each one of them needs a big pat on the back for thier hard work. The big, big reason why we are doing so well.More of the same for the rest of the season!

NATCHER Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 If I had to give a player of the season, I couldnt pick between them.I could, Jamie McCombe.He's head and shoulders above the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
next_year_I_hope Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 so what about the cock ups against bradford when now we would be top of the league now. or the one against cheltenham in the cup where we would of won and got throught to next round.sorry to be a dampner but in my 25 years of watching city play he has to be the worst keeper to be number 1 on a regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Why does evertything have to be so black and white - its not a case of Basso's better than McCombe, or Carey's better than Basso - they all play their part, and sometimes thay all make mistakes. Yes Basso did v.Bradford. McCombe can look v dodgy when players run at him eg Cheltenham. And they all contribute to our success this season - no better example than yesterday. Great goal by McCombe, but it would only have been the equaliser if Basso hadn't pulled off a fantastic save a few minutes earlier. Football's a team game. (And that's why -despite what I've said above - Basso is better than Phillips. Not cos he's a better shot stopper, or flaps less, but because he's a better team player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.....suppose City lose a game 1-0 and Jevons, Brooker and Enoch all miss golden chances to score and Basso pulls off loads of good saves in the same match. The winning goal comes from a Carey under hit back pass.Would that still be Basso's fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giles_23_bcfc Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 so what about the cock ups against bradford when now we would be top of the league now. or the one against cheltenham in the cup where we would of won and got throught to next round.sorry to be a dampner but in my 25 years of watching city play he has to be the worst keeper to be number 1 on a regular basisIf Chris Weale wouldve made those mistakes, people wouldve been saying "Never mind, everyone makes mistakes. Its just unfortunate that when keepers do if often leads to goals". Basso has kept us in alot of games this season with some of the saves hes made and some of the performances hes put in when hes been called upon! Just because he's ehavily religious and a bit eccentric (possibly to say the least), doesnt take away the fact that he is one of, if not, the best keeper in the League!Get behind him. Even if he makes 1 bad kick, everyone is straight on his case again, then, when he makes a save that defies all logic of how he kept it out, everyone suddenly loves him again!He is our number 1 for a reason. So get behind him and the rest of the team! Especially on Saturday!YOU REDS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
