dewsburyowl58 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Perhaps Sasso has brought us luck , because we have had our fair share of it these last few games !!! Makes a nice change actually we usually get mugged by bad luck so Sasso could be our lucky charm ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone whose read any of my posts on Sasso, will know I'm not his biggest fan. I'me just glad that Tom Lees injury has fallen in a run of games where the opposition hasn't been strong. Sasso is mediocre at defending and an accident waiting to happen. His mistake yesterday could have been in a playoff semi final and yet there were posters on here saying Lees may struggle to get back in??? He's been decent cover but he is a very very shaky defender who has mistakes in him constantly. Woild anyone here be comfortable with him starting at home to say Newcastle? All defenders make errors. I could highlight plenty by Lees and Loovens. He's a more than capable replacement. I suggest you get behind him instead of knocking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that bizarre ? not bizzare at all chap. I will be first to eat humble pie. enchanter clearly is short of a few brain cells. I was clearly saying in his time in the team this is his sternest test ifnhe starts. Signing a new centre back as better cover was a separate discussion. Wood is just an example of the type of striker Sasso can struggle with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGaffer Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Genuine question, and I can't be arsed to look it up, but who was the pairing when played Leeds at home? I'm not sasso's biggest fan but he's more than steady, particularly moving forward and I think we have certainly benefitted from this as a team. He also wins his fair share of headers at corners and free kicks, admitted some go a little awry. Can't fault anyone for staying and biding his time for a chance though. Keeps his place for me til injury or suspension or a seriously poor performance, none of which have happened since I've seen him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Sasso has done well since he has come into the team. He is not the most physical defender and that could be why Hutch has played deeper. What I like is how he has come out with the ball in games and started attacks. He is a goal threat and shown this in not just the Blackburn game. An important member of the squad who has more than contributed to the teams good run.

He is easily pushed off the ball and loses his headers by getting caught up tangled with the man, where as Lees is stronger and can stand his ground. Tbh I am not sure why I am having to defend myself in saying Tom Lees is far superior to Sasso. Sasso made Madine look half decent last season.

Wouldn't say the difference is so great, granted I would choose Lees over him if fit, but Sasso has other attributes which Lees lacks. I think CC has bigger concerns than that to be honest, what to have for breakfast for one. Seems more a hatred thing that a balanced view thing, whatever flicks ya switch.

Swiss Toni Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I said to my mate before kick-off yesterday that Sasso and Pudil playing at the back was only concern against an average Forest side. Not necessarily that Sasso's not good enough as third choice, just that he goes through stages in all his games where he appears to ball watch and switch off, giving the opposition a chance. There were a couple of times in the first half yesterday where a long ball was played from the back and he watches the ball go over his head before reacting and starting to run back. Both times it put Forest in a good attacking position with Brereton. A lot can be said for stats and percentages when he's in the team but I still feel more confident with Lees in the side. We've been fortunate this season with injuries to defenders so hopefully Lees will be back sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
