Haggerdoo 6 Posted January 17, 2016 If I had to ditch one of the existing centre backs it would be Bassong for me - decent at Championship level but too many errors and found out too often in the Prem - anyone think AN will drop him to make way for Klose?

nutty nigel 7,533 Posted January 17, 2016 Both. It''ll be Martin and Klose....3-2-1.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted January 17, 2016 I would hope Bassong as I think that Bennet offers more of what we need. Quicker and mostly more aware of what is going on around him , Bassong switches off too often for my liking . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YorkshirePudding 0 Posted January 17, 2016 I reckon AN will stick with Bassong, as he may prefer a left-footer at left CB. But I''d rather see Klose and Bennett. Klose is supposed to be a good passer out from the back by all accounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nat_canaries 0 Posted January 17, 2016 As his preferred position in LCB it should be Bassong he replaces in theory but in reality who knows, but my hunch is when Klose and Pinto are up to speed we will play;Pinto, Martin, Klose, Brady.I just don''t see Martin being dropped permanently due to being captain and i don''t remember him not playing when available if my memory is correct.

mrs miggins 0 Posted January 17, 2016 Was discussing this on here yesterday. I think it will be Bassong who makes way. Would like to see a back four of:Pinto--Bennett--Klose--Olsson(or Brady) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willo 0 Posted January 17, 2016 Klose is left footed and left sided so would certainly appear Bassong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Klose 0 Posted January 17, 2016 Klose is left footed so could be slightly unbalanced with him and Bassong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted January 17, 2016 I would hope we keep the superior defender in the team. And that''s Bassong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,533 Posted January 17, 2016 Bassong played RCB beside Turner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted January 17, 2016 Bennett. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,203 Posted January 17, 2016 Thought he was right footed ? but will stand corrected if that is not the case.Cant really see it being anyone other Bennett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6088m canary 0 Posted January 17, 2016 BOTH!!! (Eventually).Sign another CB of similar pedigree and slowly integrate them into the first XI as none of our CBs are up to Prem standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted January 17, 2016 He''s left footed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Klose 0 Posted January 17, 2016 Yep. Seen a few Wolfsburg games and he was playing LCB and definitely left footed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Green Army 237 Posted January 17, 2016 None. AN will probably say he is 3/4 weeks away from being up to speed same as Pinto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow and Green 334 Posted January 17, 2016 Bassong has been an ever present for Alex Neil since he came in, however I think he has been far too casual with the ball at his feet this season - giving it away - which was epitomised vs Bournemouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funny old game 1 Posted January 17, 2016 Bassong has been relegated with Newcastle, Norwich & now quite probably Norwich again, not a good stat'' to have on your CV, coincidence? I don''t think so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted January 17, 2016 Maybe he''s that rare creature.......a footballer that is equally strong with both feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted January 17, 2016 and therefore could replace either, as required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don''t think so...[/quote]And we''ve seen the defense be FAR FAR worse no matter the combination when he hasn''t played. Coincidence? I don''t think so... I''ve already said he''s no better than a bottom 7 PL defender, he''s the only one on this roster that is that though. If Klose is better he should play, we''ll see.

jaemae2 0 Posted January 17, 2016 Not even sure he''s better than Bennett, who isn''t a better CB than Bassong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted January 17, 2016 as i mentioned on another thread......nobody bats an eyelid when two right footed centre halves are paired......but two left footers is apparantly a big no-no??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted January 17, 2016 Bennett is quite a bit faster that Bassong actually. Bennett is very slow off the line but his sprint speed is very good and is certainly one of his attributes. Bad acceleration, good sprint speed - its like fifa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted January 17, 2016 Bennett makes way for me, solid stopper who is strong in the air. But when faced with strikers with movement he struggles. That''s what we face in the prem.Bassong with klose is the right choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanNorwichFan 0 Posted January 17, 2016 I agree. Bassong and Klose every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
