Apart from the touch that set up Beach Boy, and his blocked shot that was travelling and a few other touches, he didnt have a good game. Got knocked off the ball too easily, lost the ball too much and just had a bad game in general. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO.Some people are hard to please, him just being there puts the opposition defenders on the back foot and creates big spaces for our other speedy strikers/wingers and the fact is he has had massive contributions in our last 3 league games where he was heavily involved in all 4 goals, we must remember that he has never competed at this level and like the rest is learning all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted he is learning about this level all the time like the rest of our players but you don't see them getting knocked off the ball, with the exception of LJ on saturday but that was the only time i can remember he has had a bad game this season.

WarksRed Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 4 games in .......2 goals + 2 assists ...... thats 100% ....... if that continues over the season that 40+ goals scored or assisted ......at £1m ... that seems like good value for money ....... plus with Byfield alongside him, most teams wont be able to double mark him. ...... which will give him more time and chances ...... far more positives than negatives to look forward to here ........ its going to be a GOOD season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i still think he can get close to, or break the 20 goal mark. I'm not saying that he is a waste of money, far from it, the stats are there for all to see, i just don't think his performances in thr last 2 games have been what they couldve been. Whether thats down to tiredness or what i don't know.Byfield looks to be a good signing already. OK, 2 goals for the reserves isnt the greatest feat in the world but it was the first time he had played a proper game with his new team-mates and he has now got some match sharpness and hopefully some confidence. I saw a few of his goals from last season on Sky sports on Monday, and damn, that boy can finish! Good in the air, good at one on ones, can score from outside the area. Could be tough to break up the Byfield/Trundle partnership.I agree that there are far more positives to look forward to. I am very happy with the start we have made aswell. 1 of only 2 unbeaten teams in the league. Who would have predicted that on August 11th?

Guest Eamer Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Basso was a player I really was unsure about when he first came to the club as he seemed to need a lot of work and just generally seemed to look like he might make quite a few mistakes. He though has really stepped up, he has worked on every aspect of his game and has become a player I really trust in now. If he was ten years younger no doubt a lot of high league clubs would be looking at him. Can you imagine having a 22 year old Basso and looking forward to having him for another ten years?Trundle again, he has only just started his career here but he is now the one I am unsure on. He has a great record and was undoubtable quality in League 2 and then in League 1 but I'm unsure if the Championship is one step too far or not. £1 million is a big fee especially for a 30 year old and I'm just not sure he can show the same kind of quality he has done in the past at this level. I really hope he does though of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 £1 million is a big fee especially for a 30 year old and I'm just not sure he can show the same kind of quality he has done in the past at this level. I really hope he does though of course. Trundle's shown the quality alright, the 2 goals against S****horpe were special and proof that he is certainly not out of his depth. He can't be expected to execute such masterpieces every week though and will need the wing supply to improve to give him more straightforward chances if he is going to amass a 20 goal-ish tally. Trundle has been heavily marked and been afforded very few genuine chances but his pedigree has been evident with the classy finishes and assists. He now needs the likes of the relatively disappointing McIndoe to step up a gear and get the ball into the box regularly. I'd back Trundle to bury a good percentage of the chances if that happens.

ciderup Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 IHO Trunds has been inadvertantly making space for others because every team we have played have double marked him. With the addition of more pace from Ivan and Darren Byfield, they won't be able to put 2 players on him.Looking good so far!U REDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
