he didn't play him at the end of last season though either

started Elmander and RvW at times, and even played Redmond up front on his own ahead of Hooper.

The banishment of Bassong is a shame as well, whatever the reason behind it. It was only a year ago that people were debating whether or not he was our best ever defender.

        Bassong has continued his career trend of one good season per club! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Aug 6, 17:24:23
        
        Bassong hasn't been banished - he patently wasn't interested in a relegation scrap. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 6, 17:16:14
