Losing 2-1 with 10 minutes to go, and my stream has just disappeared, so do not know how it finished [Post edited 22 Oct 2018 14:51]

According to the Twitter, Basssong has just headed in an equaliser. Who knew he was still knocking around on trial? |  |

INdeed he did. After a well worked corner. Only watched the last few minutes and we looked really good. |  | | |

We were pressing the whole of the second half until my stream went dead, without reward.Didn't see the first 46 minutes.
Who is this Bassong you speak about? | | | |

Sebastian Bassong - former Tottingham Hotspurts and Newcarsole. Not sure why he's with us really. He is far too late for the Harry Redknapp Pay-Day Spectacular. |  |

IIRC the bigger Spanish sides have been known to keep more experienced players on the payroll purely to provide structure to their youth B-teams competing in the lower leagues. Guess that's us and Bassong right now. It's just like watching Barcelona. |  | | |

I'm assuming Furs was playing CB then by the way? Could be interesting... | | | |

I think we have made it clear that we can't afford Bassong's wages. That said he seems to be enjoying keeping playing with us. Perhaps we should cross out Ned's name on the pay as you play contract and offer it to him? |  |

Game finished 2-2 with Oteh scoring a penalty and Bassong getting a second equaliser in last 10 minutes. We should have won it to be honest, Smyth hit the bar first half and Lewis Walker hit the bar with cross cum shot second half. Then in the dying seconds Hamalainen headed over from point blank range when it was easier to score. I would have settled for a draw in first 20 minutes as Millwall were all over us, second half It was all us though. | | | |

Furlong was right back. Kakay was left back ?? Phillips and Hamalainen at centre back. | | | |

Those kids keep fighting, see quite a few games this year, I was at LR to watch them against Burnley, best game I have seen there in a few years.
Hamalainen is a good player, Furlong still a bit off fitness but looked solid, Oteh needs a loan, not impressed with Walker on trial, BOS and Smyth worked hard enough but didn’t stand out.
Someone in this thread made a point about older players making the difference playing for the reserves, if they have done that and have kept Bassong around for that reason, then, it’s a stroke of genius! | | | |

Very much doubt we're paying Bassong anything to stick around. But if as I suspect he's too lazy to graft outside of London and find himself a club then maybe it's a winner for us. Most likely he and his agent know we're skint and he's hanging around for an Xmas injury crisis. | | | |

Lewis Walker on loan hasn't impressed in the 4 games he has played, 3 league games and the friendly at Brentford. He looks like he has walked in off the street and joined in a game that he has never played before. Released by Derby over a month ago 'by mutual consent' usually means you are not up to scratch (the polite version).
Just goes to show what having a famous father does for you in football. | | | |

I find it hard to disagree with that assessment other than, he must be showing something in training that he is currently not showing during games.
I use too watch the reserves years ago, I remember a game against Palace and the center forward was one of the worst players I had ever seen on a football pitch, he couldn’t trap a ball, he was just awful.
That player was Stan Collymore, I couldn’t believe it when he turned up at Southend banging them in from everywhere, after that, I always hold fire for that bit longer, if he is given that year’s contract,it’s because these guys see something, they don’t give them away these Days. | | | |

There's a thread in there somewhere. "Players You Wrote Off Too Soon" or something.
I, of course, have never made a mistake. Except for the time I told my Dad that young Zidane was good "but I don't really see what all the fuss is about". |  |

Having seen him in the reserves in the 80s and fleeting subs appearances for the first team, if someone had said Les Ferdinand would become a QPR legend and play for England I would have called the men in white coats. | | | |

I didn’t hold out much hope for young LF either, that said, I still feel he underachieved, maybe it’s because I was always comparing him to Shearer, which in hindsight, was unfair, so, I take it back, LF did great! | | | |

My moment of wisdom was writing Thierry Henry off, but I think you may have won this one Brian. |  |

That would make a good thread. I also don't make mistakes but remember seeing Terry Mancini at Orient in the late 60's and thinking, 'how does this bloke make a living playing football' and then, of course, we signed him. However he seemed to improved markedly with us (Gordon Jago's coaching?) and than astonishingly had two good years at the Arse.
Perhaps it's something to do with the name but I also thought that Terry Venables was poor at Spurs and wasn't too impressed when we came to us in 69 but then couldn't believe how great he was for five years - just seemed a pity that he wasn't part of our best ever side. | | | |
