andy g Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I know it was a backs-to-the-wall performance for most of the match today, but what a star Basso was !Some of those saves in the second half were incredible and its hard to imagine anyone else being able to pull them off. Gary Johnson was quite right to put him back in the first team and he's justified his place again. Weale will have to wait, because there is no way you can drop Basso after a performance like that.

East End Lad Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Aye he was quality today. Totally justified the decision to put him back in the team with some quality saves and generally had a very good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Gary Johnson was quite right to put him back in the first team and he's justified his place again. Weale will have to wait, because there is no way you can drop Basso after a performance like that.Some fans think that Weale was unfortunate to dropped.He did nothing wrong in any of the games he played and at B'pool he kept City in the game. I was surprised to see Basso back in to be honest.That said Basso pulled of three quality saves and his all round game was excellant but we'll never know if Weale had played whether he would had have a similar game.Ability wise there's not between them imo but Basso probably edges out Weale because of his influence in the dressing room.

East End Lad Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I think the reason Basso was back in the team mate is because as (G) Johnson said Basso diddnt make a mistake in 18 months and therefore diddnt deserve to be dropped in the first place.

Meh Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I think his command of the area and general alertness of balls over the top also adds to the edging out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtonphil Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I think his command of the area and general alertness of balls over the top also adds to the edging out.His bravery and excellent handling..... etc etcI think we have two (arguably three) very good keepers who need to be on top form to stay in the team. Healthly competition.Basso will shade it at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderman Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I like Basso a lot and he made some good saves but his commanding of his six yard box at Wednesday's many corners was very poor. He didn't come for any and a top keeper would've come and taken them (or at least punched) all day long ... as it was they were by far Wednesday's main, almost only, area of danger the whole match.Leaving a defence to deal with corners on YOUR six yard line and inside is asking for big trouble, we were very lucky to get away with it today and for sure we won't again, although to be fair the delivery of the corners was above average today. He simply HAS to take charge at corners landing so close to his goal and he failed miserably at it today. I pray that Gary and Milly have noticed it and work him extensively on it.

Red Head Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I think his command of the area and general alertness of balls over the top also adds to the edging out.I disagree. Four corners in the second half that were in our six yard area and he stayed rooted. We were lucky to get away with that. Apart from that he did well.

We were lucky to get away with that. Apart from that he did well.i agree and why do you think that SW was putting it in the 6 yard box at corners was it a) to let basso show off how good he is at comanding his 6 yard box or b) because they done their homework and found out how dodgy he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Milne Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 i agree and why do you think that SW was putting it in the 6 yard box at corners was it a) to let basso show off how good he is at comanding his 6 yard box or b) because they done their homework and found out how dodgy he isshot stopping he is great, but he should of took responsibility and come out on these corners that were inside his six yard box, in fairness SW were shocking far worse than half the teams we played last season.

Mre Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 nice to see basso back in goal and had an amazing game. No disrespect to weale think if he played we would of drawn 1-1 or lost 2-1Like johnson said basso played for 18 months and did nothing wrong and wale has played 4 games and done nothing wrong. think GJ is going to have both keepers play the same amount of games to keep them happy.

Nice to listen to the World interview with Basso - him and Weale are helping each other and are only competing against the opposition team independent of who's in goal. Sound more "religious" than human to me but long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound more "religious" than human to me but long may it continue. I think this crossing business is something that Naylor is responsible for as Phillips was the same when he was here, but now he comes out and claims the ball (Well he did on TV!!).I reckon it is the way Naylor coaches the club keepers to deal with the crosses - don't know why but it is not a natural thing for a keeper to do - stay rooted to the line (having been one for a far few years!!). So not necessarily Basso's faultAnybody think this ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I wonder if Weale was actually dropped today?No stay with me!! I flicked on very briefly the Coventry v Preston game whilst doing some DIY type stuff and overheard the commentator say that the keeper for one of the teams was making his first start as part of his Managers "I don't have a number 1 stance" he was taking this season, i.e. he was purposely planning to rotate his keepers every few games irrespective of performance.As there was no justifiable reason really to drop Weale, any chance Gary is simply trying to keep them both fresh by giving them a couple of games each and then rotating, probably with Basso having the Lions share?Pro's and Cons to this, but, it would keep them both happy and fairly fresh.

Dolman_Dave Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 shot stopping he is great, but he should of took responsibility and come out on these corners that were inside his six yard box, in fairness SW were shocking far worse than half the teams we played last season.Did any of you not notice that Weds put a striker in front of him at every second half corner. The strikers job was to get in his way without committing a 'foul' but it was like watching some of Chelsea's grid iron tactics for removing an opponent from a set piece. So he wasnt 'rooted' to his line at all. Well not through his own choice anyway! The ref didnt notice of course. Bass had a word with him after the corner were Enoch was injured. I'm surprised none of you noticed it - I was fuming at the time and would have gone mental if they had scored from one of those corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davros Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Basso and weale are about the same tbh.Basso don't command his area as well as Weale.Weale probably wont make some of the loopy saves Basso does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 my MOM too, he could have come out for more corners, but its a high risk strategy with so many players in the way. it looks terrible when the keeper gets stuck in the traffic and the ball bounces softly slap bang into an open net.
