He's probably a better full back prospect than Nathan for me and that's saying something.
That's his position, not central defence.
He did well last night, but he is far more comfortable bombing down the flanks and running the legs off the likes of Stephen O'Donnell, as we witnessed a couple of weeks ago.
Better than Patterson, big statement. Not for me.
He’s an incredible athlete, but young Nathan looks to combine that with a seriously impressive level of game intelligence that is beyond Bassey in my view.
Came on to say the exact same - first post nailed itHe doesn’t win many headers in that position so I’d say no
100% …He needs to learn to header the ball before it can even be considered. If he does, f*ck me, he will be a colossus.
I think he could certainly work in a back 3 where he is able to go out and be a bit more aggressiveRealise it's only half way through one game but given our current centre half situation can you see Calvin being converted and moving inside over the long term? He's got age on his side, the physical attributes and would just need the mental ones.
That could still ring true but he was left out of the Euro squad by the previous management team.Watching the Greegs double save and Bassey is totally lost for the second header. Throughout the game, he covered for Barasic extremely well last night but he is a full back. Says a lot about Simpson, which we already know.
Fair point, I had forgotten that.That could still ring true but he was left out of the Euro squad by the previous management team.
To be fair I am leaning to agree with you BUT still don't think we have seen enough of Simpson or him with a run of games etc. The signs are not good for him but who know, new coaching team etc.Fair point, I had forgotten that.
Don’t think there’s anything to slate you for there, CBs who can bring the ball forward help massively against a parked busProbably get slated for this but here it goes
When teams camp in like Livi on Sunday
i think having him in there is a huge benefit.
We won't be under much pressure and he can take the ball a run no problem a bit like Bougherra and create a bit of panic and if Borna isn't getting any joy the big man could swap to Lb for a few attacks and Borna stay back.
Agreed mate and he has great recovery pace aswell.Don’t think there’s anything to slate you for there, CBs who can bring the ball forward help massively against a parked bus
He was a centre half for Leicester.Realise it's only half way through one game but given our current centre half situation can you see Calvin being converted and moving inside over the long term? He's got age on his side, the physical attributes and would just need the mental ones.
Did you see the goal we conceded today?Will let Giovanni van Bronckhorst decide that one.
He’s done absolutely fine at CB under the new manager.
